26332 Fairview Ave

A private retreat high atop the East Bay hills in unincorporated Fairview with Castro Valley schools and county services. Beautiful, custom-built 5 bed, 2.5 bath home with panoramic views and endless wildlife beyond the gated access on Fairview Avenue. Almost 3.3 acres of wooded forests include Coastal Redwoods, Pines, Oaks, and Eucalyptus, accented by a giant Silver Eucalyptus adjoined with panoramic views of Palomares Canyon, Castro Valley, and open space as far as the eye can see. The beautiful Cape Cod-style, custom-designed home and the property combine to create a relaxing escape and endless opportunities for friends, food, and community. The spacious 3,400 square foot home is immaculately updated. The home features 4 large bedrooms including a full-floor master suite with jacuzzi tub, separate shower, and a greenroom with sweeping wildlife and valley views; 2 full bathrooms; and a 5th bedroom with a built-in 1/2 bath. The foyer opens up into a huge living room with a wood-burning fireplace, two skylights, built-in China cabinets, a full wet bar, and ceiling-to-floor Tahoe windows that showcase the natural surroundings of forest and wildlife — where foxes, owls, deer, and dozens of kinds of birds can routinely be seen roaming. The foyer pans right to a spacious formal dining room and a brick-lined and fully updated kitchen with Bosch appliances, and an attached sunroom w/ amazing views. Exposed beam ceilings, newly refinished hardwood flooring, new carpeting and freshly painted interior throughout. The kitchen, sunroom, and living room are surrounded by a beautifully built deck with space for grills, seating, and more as you overlook some of the best views in the East Bay. A large two car garage is at the end of the house, complete with a fully-finished large attic room with full-height ceilings, heating, windows, carpet, and hardwood floors. Detached 680 sqft wood shed and storage shed provides ample space for gardening and other equipment, and several large terraced sections of the property are flat and usable for entertaining. Extensive parking on property and highly accessible to BART, commute routes, and major work centers. This private retreat is an escape from the daily grind yet is absolutely central to most locations in the Bay Area.
