554 Hampton Road

Attention investors, owner-occupants, and first-time buyers, this is the opportunity you have been waiting for. Welcome to 554 Hampton Road, a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom two-story single-family home nestled in the heart of historic Cherryland, one of the East Bay's most storied and strategically located communities. Cherryland is not just a neighborhood; it is a piece of California history. This community was carved from the original 3,000-acre orchards of William Meek, considered Alameda County's first farmer, who arrived via the Oregon Trail in 1846. The iconic Meek Mansion, a 23-room Victorian estate listed on the National Register of Historic Places, stands just steps from this property on Hampton Road, lending this street a character and heritage that cannot be replicated. Hampton Road is, quite literally, the historic spine of Cherryland. The home is being offered as a fixer-upper and presents a rare blank canvas in a market where turnkey inventory is scarce, and competition is fierce. A sweat-equity buyer or savvy investor has a genuine opportunity to build substantial value from day one in a zip code where homes are going pending in as few as 15 to 17 days. The two-story layout offers flexible living space across two levels, ideal for families, multigenerational households, or future rental income. Hampton Road properties average nearly 10,000 square feet in lot size, and the corridor's homes, many built between the 1920s and 1940s, carry the kind of architectural character and lot depth that newer construction simply cannot replicate at this price point. Centrally located with direct access to I-880, I-238, and Highway 92 connecting you to Oakland, San Francisco, Fremont, and San Jose Minutes from Hayward BART, Greyhound hub, and both SFO and OAK airports, a commuter's dream. Walking distance to the historic Meek Mansion and Meek Estate Park one of the most beloved community landmarks in Alameda County. Close to Hayward Japanese Gardens, San Lorenzo Creek trail, and neighborhood schools. Three-bedroom rents in Cherryland average $2,615+/month, with strong investment return potential. Homes in 94541 sell in as few as 15 days. This market does not wait. Properties on Hampton Road steps from the Meek Mansion, in a community with this level of access, income, and demand, are exactly what the East Bay market absorbs quickly. For a buyer with vision and the ability to act decisively, this is precisely the kind of deal that does not come along often!
