Welcome home! This 5 BR/3 BA ranch offers the space, layout, and location many buyers are looking for. Situated on a quiet street in one of Hayward's desirable neighborhoods, you'll enjoy being just a short walk or bike ride from Lake Hayward and downtown. From the inviting covered front porch and beautiful perennial landscaping to the raised garden beds, spacious backyard lined with mature trees, and large deck, there's plenty of room for it all. Inside, the main level features an updated kitchen with newer appliances, a mudroom off the attached 2 car garage, three bedrooms, and two full bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with enough room for a home office or sitting area. The finished lower level adds even more living space with a large family room, two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, an office or craft room, and tons of storage. A new boiler was installed in 2023. With plenty of room to grow and a location where you'll enjoy neighborhood living, bike rides, and evening walks, this is a great place to call home.
