Presented by Nicole Easterday and Susie Wyshak

Mediterreanean Style Home Full of Charm — sold with multiple offers, 23% over asking.

Thinking of a move to the East Bay and want to find a neighborhood that’s great for commuting, has a small town feeling and affordable real estate near the Bay? Discover San Leandro and 523 Pala!

Located on a historic, tree-lined street in the heart of Estudillo Estates, this beautifully preserved Spanish-style home at 523 Pala Avenue blends timeless architectural charm with an exceptionally livable layout.

There’s a reason why our open houses have been swamped with home buyers from all over the Bay Area. This is one special abode!

Offering three light-filled bedrooms and two full baths, the home is rich with original details including crown molding, graceful arched doorways, one-of-a-kind plaster walls and ceilings, and gleaming oak hardwood floors.

A rare and delightful feature sets this home apart: each of the three bedrooms opens to its own private balcony, creating a sense of retreat and indoor-outdoor connection throughout. The bedrooms share a single landing, enhancing flow and functionality, while a spacious ground-level family/media room with an attached full bath offers ideal flexibility for entertaining, guests, or work-from-home needs.

The main living spaces are warm and inviting, with the living room anchored by a stone-accented fireplace and large picture windows, a formal dining room, and a charming breakfast nook. A beautifully tiled bathroom, dedicated laundry room, garage, and thoughtful storage complete the interior.

Outside, enjoy a sunny, fenced courtyard bursting with mature landscaping and a bubbling fountain, along with a beautifully landscaped front yard. The location is equally compelling – quiet and neighborly, close to well-regarded San Leandro schools, parks, public library, shops, and dining, with nearby access to scenic hiking trails and the San Leandro Marina. Commuters will appreciate seamless access to BART, I-580 and I-880.

Listing Price: $1,060,000
