A whimsical and playful 4BD/1.5BA Mid-Century Modern, 20089 Emerald Court is an unexpected gem on a quiet cul-de-sac in Castro Valley. Reveling in Bohemian chic with its playful interior design, this home boasts an open floor plan with updated kitchen and bath, hardwood floors, and oversized dual-pane windows that fill the rooms with light. This level-in, level-out home includes a huge backyard with two decks--ideal for outdoor entertaining--and a separate cottage-like music studio.
Nestled in a confluence of canyons, Castro Valley is a refreshing pocket of quiet neighborhoods with a small-town vibe, yet boasts sought-after schools and is well-situated for the daily commute with easy access to BART and the 238 and 580 freeways. The area offers many outdoor activities, including the annual Rowell Ranch rodeo, parade, chili cook-off, and pancake breakfast. Emerald Court is moments away from Don Castro Park, swimming at Coal Canyon Reservoir, and horseback and hiking trails at Lake Chabot.
