2651 Ione Ave

On a spacious corner lot in Castro Valley’s Baywood neighborhood, this intentionally upgraded European Craftsman-style home has character, functionality, and future potential. Ideally located across from Laurel Elementary, a soon-to-be public park, the location offers both convenience and a long-term upside. The property features exceptional parking with a detached 2-car garage, attached 1-car garage with epoxy floors, and space for up to 8 vehicles, plus side yard access on both sides—perfect for expansion or an ADU opportunity. Inside, timeless charm meets modern upgrades with original oak hardwood floors, a custom redwood fireplace mantle, and built-ins in both bedrooms. Major improvements include a new Presidential Shake roof (2024), owned solar with battery backup, 200-amp electrical service, central AC, trenchless sewer lateral, and newer exterior paint. Smart home features, a smart garage, and advanced drainage systems add everyday ease, while the landscaped yard offers fruit trees, irrigation, and space to relax or entertain. A rare opportunity to own a truly special home with both heart and infrastructure already in place.
