523 Pala Avenue, San Leandro
Presented by
Nicole Easterday & Susie Wyshak, REALTORS®
Located on a historic, tree-lined street in the heart of Estudillo Estates, this beautifully preserved Spanish-style home blends timeless architectural charm with an exceptionally livable layout. 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.

Neighborhood

San Leandro is a small town just south of Oakland, with easy access to BART, 580 and 880. San Leandro's east side stretches up into the hills of the East Bay Regional Park District and Lake Chabot Regional Park. The west side is flatter with access to the San Francisco Bay shoreline, public golf course, and marina.

Charming, historic homes sit along the winding streets of the Estudillo Estates. Many homes are classic California Spanish style architecture, on streets lined with mature, leafy trees. The block where 523 Pala is located is just one block long, making it a quiet and friendly location where neighbors know each other. Estudillo Estates is home to some of San Leandro's most beloved community gathering spots such as Zocolo Coffeehouse, restaurants, the San Leandro Library, and more.

San Leandro is known for its beautiful weather which has always made it ideal for gardening and fruit trees as well as avocado trees. Residents are proud of San Leandro's  small-town feel. It boasts a Wednesday farmers' markets, several annual festivals, and an increasing number of locally owned restaurants and coffee houses. 

San Leandro’s commute options are excellent: it has its own Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station, transbay buses, and easy access to Interstate 880 and Interstate 580 for trips to the Silicon Valley or San Francisco. For residents who have commutes around the Bay, San Leandro makes a wonderfully central location!
