Rarely available Castro Valley townhome with SOLAR!!!! Combining scenic natural surroundings, energy efficiency, and an unbeatable location. This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home backs to a peaceful wooded setting, offering a private balcony where you can enjoy morning coffee while watching deer and wild turkeys wander through the trees.

Set at the open curve of a J-shaped building, this unit enjoys broader sightlines, enhanced privacy, and an expanded patio with direct access from both the primary bedroom and guest room.
