Perched at the crest of Hayward Hills, 3095 Chronicle Avenue is a fully detached, lovingly updated residence that lives like a private urban oasis. Set on more than a quarter acre- the very first home on this storied street, it enjoys sweeping views across the Bay to San Mateo and unforgettable sunsets. An irrigated, multi-tier landscape unfolds behind secure perimeter fencing: jasmine-scented paths, bright bougainvillea, raised vegetable beds, a producing chicken coop, gopher-proofed lawns, and fruit trees- olive, guava, apricot, lemon, orange, plum- are deliberately placed throughout the grounds. A dedicated dog run keeps pets separate from garden spaces, while an oversized side pad welcomes extra vehicles, boat(s), or an RV. Private curbside parking sits directly in front. Inside, a 2018 renovation introduced 3/4 inch. solid white-oak floors, vaulted ceilings in the main living area, with an airy open layout. The chef's kitchen pairs an Italian gas range with a high-performance hood, Bosch dishwasher, deep farmhouse cast-iron sink, and leathered granite countertops crowned by a vintage 1930s ceramic pendant and pantry. Porcelain door knobs nod to the home's heritage; new systems and finishes, including solar panels, speak to modern standards. A vast, fully enclosed area beneath the home spans its entire width, housing the laundry (Speed Queen washer & dryer convey) and offering exceptional climate-stable storage or workshop potential. The floor plan offers ideal separation: two bedrooms cluster near the redesigned bath, complete with an oversized soaking tub, new vanity, and water-wise toilet, while a third bedroom sits apart for guests or a quiet office. French doors draw the eye straight to an expansive covered deck, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow for morning coffee, garden-to-table dinners, or sunset vibes. Additional highlights include Multiple terraced levels for entertaining, play, and cultivation. Irrigation to all planted zones (except driveway) Long-time, well-established community of owner-occupied homes. Second ownership since original construction; immaculate upkeep. Quick access to I-580, I-880, and downtown Hayward. Potential for an ADU or Subdivide (check with Alameda County). Rare double-frontage lot expanding future possibilities.
