Property Description

Discover a home of lasting beauty, integrity, and unmistakable love. This Spanish Colonial Revival on a beautiful Broadmoor street was crafted, not rushed - a residence where every detail reflects care, quality, and generations of pride. Architectural character greets you: dramatic arched doorways, original columns, rich woodwork, and gleaming hardwood floors with decorative inlay. The living room's arched picture window and plaster fireplace with gorgeously placed tile, create a warmly elegant gathering place. Details abound such as rope-style crown molding, dentil details, carved Solomonic columns with Ionic capitals, original light fixtures, and stepped Art Deco ceiling accents, All celebrating timeless craftsmanship. The dining room is poised for celebrations; the kitchen blends handsome hickory cabinetry, generous workspace, and a large stainless-steel sink for everyday meals made with love. A sunny breakfast nook invites quiet mornings. Upstairs, two tranquil bedrooms overlook the lush backyard; the vintage Art Deco bath - mint tile, black geometric accents, cast-iron tub, and a custom etched-glass swan door - is a preserved jewel. Downstairs offers a third bedroom, common room, and full bath, ideal for guests, a home office, or creative pursuits. Outside, the backyard is a true sanctuary on an expansive 10,000 sq ft lot - perfect for an urban farmer. Roses and pollinator-friendly plantings attract hummingbirds and butterflies; there's abundant space for entertaining, gardening, or peaceful mornings among nature. A long driveway, detached garage, and meticulously landscaped grounds underscore the evident pride of ownership. Location enhances the lifestyle: Broadmoor charm with a WalkScore of 76, BART under a mile, direct access to 580 and 880, nearby Lake Chabot trails and boating, the Wednesday farmers' market, and favorites like Zocalo Coffeehouse, Fournos Pizza, Bluebird Pizzeria, Levanta, Paradiso, and Tio's Mediterranean Grill. Parks, schools, downtown San Leandro shops, and conveniences like Costco and the Marina are close by. If you value originality, craftsmanship, and a home that's genuinely cherished, 525 Dowling Boulevard is waiting. Come feel the warmth, quality, and love - and come home.
