Quite possibly the Storybook house in the Tri-Valley area

Built in 1927 by renowned architect, W. R. Yelland, as a country home for a Berkeley family. The Pleasanton Weekly described the home as a house that makes you smile. It has many whimsical features such as gargoyles that spout rainwater. There have been 4 owners. The current owners did extensive remodeling and rebuilt the foundation to conform to seismic standards while preserving historic design and structure.

At nearly 800 feet elevation the property has attractive views f the valley. The property is one of the larger and more private lots (1.5 acres +/-) in the Castlewood area. It is located on a cul-de-sac & abuts the 15th ho le of the Castlewood Golf Course. Only 1.5 miles from I680. Minutes from highly rated schools, shops, restaurants, BART and more!
