When Matt and Seema set out to find a home, they discovered 2573 Lakeview Drive—a Mid-century, all-one-level in the heart of Bay-O-Vista, San Leandro. Since moving in, they’ve thoughtfully upgraded and transformed the property into the stunner it is today.
The formal living room is expansive, anchored by a stacked flagstone fireplace and enhanced by mid-century inspired, made-to-order in the U.S., custom solid brass wall sconces. A large picture window frames the sunny street and a sprawling natural preserve, where, in the green seasons, you might spot cows grazing.
The open kitchen and dining great room with its striking second stacked flagstone fireplace now features an oversized island with Caesarstone quartz counters, a Fireclay tile backsplash, open shelves, and stainless steel appliances, all illuminated by a classic Herman Miller Bubble Saucer pendant. This bright, airy space flows directly to the level-out backyard, complete with fresh landscaping, a pool, and a cabana with its own bathroom*.
The primary suite is generously sized, comfortably fitting a king-sized bed, and offers two closets—including a walk-in—and an updated en suite bath with a walk-in shower. Throughout the home, playful and stylish details abound: colorful interior doors, 3-D wall panels in the study, giving a nod to Palm Springs modernism.
Additional highlights include dual-pane windows, an attached garage with interior access, seismic retrofitting, and the effortless lifestyle of Bay-O-Vista: wide, sunny streets, peaceful energy, and just the right touch of California cool.
