24849 2nd St, Hayward CA 94541

Imagine pulling up to your own private retreat every single day, bay views, fruit trees, and the kind of quiet you didn't think you could find this close to everything. Set back from the street behind a long private driveway, this tri-level home sits on a generous 10,454 sq ft lot and offers something rare in the East Bay, a true sense of arrival. Elevated just enough for bay views, surrounded by mature fruit-bearing trees, and completely tucked away from the street, it feels like your own little world. The top floor features two bedrooms and a full bath, creating a quiet private retreat. The main level offers an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, an open living area, and natural light throughout. The lower level adds valuable flexibility with its own private entrance, ideal as a home office, gym, guest suite, or a starting point for a future ADU/JADU, subject to buyer verification and city approval. Premium upgrades include Tesla solar, Tesla EV charger, tankless water heater, double-pane windows, stacked washer/dryer, and a fire sprinkler system. Minutes from BART, Cal State East Bay, parks, trails, and major commuter routes — private and secluded but never disconnected. This is a rare East Bay opportunity for the intentional buyer who sees potential where others see complexity.
