Welcome to this serene hillside retreat in San Leandro, where modern comfort blends with the tranquility of nature. Built in 1973, this charming single-level home features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, offering 1,174 sq ft of living space on a generous 8,084 sq ft lot nestled in a cul-de-sac. 

The sunlit living room creates an inviting atmosphere with recess lighting, stylish floors, and a cozy fireplace, ideal for cool evenings. The dining room features a sleek gold light fixture that casts a soft, ethereal glow, while a large sliding glass door leads to the back deck—an ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee. Renovated in 2017, the kitchen is outfitted with sleek stainless-steel appliances and offers ample counter and cabinet space. Escape to the primary bedroom complete with hardwood floors and a spacious walk-in closet, a fashion lover's delight . The attached full bathroom has been thoughtfully updated and features a modern, stylish shower. Additional conveniences include an in-unit washer and dryer, AC, and storage basement below to keep all your essentials organized and out of sight. Equipped with solar panels, this home offers a harmonious balance of mid-century allure, modern amenities, and sustainable living. 

The outdoor space is ideal for hosting gatherings or unwinding in the luxurious hot tub. Whether you're soaking after a day of nearby adventures or enjoying a starlit evening with friends, the hot tub offers the perfect place to relax and recharge. The newly landscaped yard is both low-maintenance and beautifully enhanced with vibrant, lush greenery. The expansive, level lot is a dog’s paradise and provides outstanding parking flexibility, with space for RVs, boats, or over four vehicles. It also presents excellent potential for expanding the home or adding an ADU, subject to local permitting and planning approvals.

Explore outdoor recreation at nearby Lake Chabot Park. Savor a variety of local dining options, catch a film at Century Theater or pick up fresh produce at the Bayfair farmers market on Saturdays. Centrally located, just minutes from major freeways, BART, and schools, this residence feels like a hidden sanctuary while keeping the best of the city within reach.

about this

Neighborhood

San Leandro is a small city just south of Oakland. Its east side stretches up into the hills of the East Bay Regional Park District. The west side is flatter and has the advantage of the San Francisco Bay shoreline, public golf course, and marina.
Homes for sale in San Leandro can be traced through the decades -- from the 1910s to the present day. A wide variety of architectural styles is found in north San Leandro. Dramatic, hillside contemporary homes, many of which feature expansive bay and canyon views, are the hallmark of the Bayo Vista neighborhood. Charming, older homes sit along the winding streets of the Estudillo Estates and Broadmoor Districts. Most of the city's ranch-style homes lie towards the Marina, along with some newer, custom-home developments.
San Leandro is proud of its small-town feel and boasts a Wednesday farmers' markets, several annual festivals, and an increasing number of locally owned restaurants and coffee houses. San Leandro’s commute options are excellent: it has its own Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station, transbay buses, and easy access to Interstate 880 and Interstate 580 for trips to the Silicon Valley or San Francisco.
