37340 Locust St, Newark, CA 94560

Set on an oversized 7,500+ sq ft lot in the heart of Old Town Newark, this classic bungalow is the kind of property that rewards vision. Whether you're dreaming of a multigenerational setup, a detached ADU for rental income, or simply a backyard that actually gets used — the lot makes it possible. The park-like backyard is the real story here with six raised organic garden beds, mature citrus and olive trees, full drip irrigation, and room to build on in a way most Bay Area properties simply don't offer. The home blends original character with 1,187 sq.ft. of flexible living space (836 sq.ft. downstairs plus a 351 sq.ft. bonus room upstairs), with the big-ticket items already handled: new roof on both the main house and detached shed, whole-house copper plumbing, new gas lines, added insulation, dual pane windows, new water heater, kitchen stove, backyard fencing, new siding and gutters the on shed, and three brand-new mini-split systems for efficient year-round comfort. Ideally located near local shops, dining, parks, and commuter routes — with the space and flexibility that's nearly impossible to find at this price point in the Bay Area.
