Property Description

The main residence features 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, with a flexible layout ideal for modern living. An attached pool/guest suite with a private bath and a detached bedroom with exterior access add even more versatility. Outdoor spaces are equally impressive, with mature trees, a sparkling pool, and an expansive yard that backs to the Iron Horse Trail—offering potential direct access to one of the East Bay’s most beloved recreational pathways.
