Set apart by its generous lot and extra wide driveway with side access, Spruce Street also features spacious living areas and entertainment-friendly outdoor spaces!
First time on the market since 1990! This property has equal parts cozy charm and smart location that will satisfy a broad range of lifestyle and professional needs.
Never run out of parking or side access space
With 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms set onto an 8,316 square foot lot, you and your family will have plenty of room to stretch out. In addition to an attached two-car garage, there is a super-wide driveway with space for up to 4 cars, and a completely paved side access area that can accommodate more than one recreational vehicle or piece of equipment—bring your boat and your RV. Similar properties that have sold recently in Newark typically have smaller lots and lack the wide driveway.
Tastefully updated interiors
There are hardwood floors throughout the first floor, and all windows are double-pane with window treatments. The high-end front door opens into a formal living room centered around a converted gas jet fireplace. This is complemented by a formal dining room. At the back of the house, a large family room adjoins the kitchen and provides a more relaxed everyday space for a TV room or kids play area, as well as informal dining looking out onto the backyard. Bedrooms and baths are concentrated on the carpeted second floor.
The kitchen has been updated with granite countertops, and the laundry room features storage cabinets.
Energy- and water-smart upgrades
In the summer, you will appreciate Spruce Street’s power-saving whole house fan situated in the attic that draws up rising hot air and vents it out. There are also ceiling fans, and two mini split AC units: one in the main bedroom, and one in the family room. In addition to the insulation provided by the attractive stucco facade of the property’s southwest-facing back side, there is a covered patio for plenty of shade, and tasteful awnings on second floor windows. Spruce Street also has a smartly designed front yard that is low-maintenance and sprinklered.
Bring on the BBQs & gardening
We’d be remiss not to mention the backyard! Walking out from the covered back patio is a large sunny deck with built-in benches. Surrounding gravel gives way to mature plantings and high fences. You can have the best of all worlds: privacy, water conservation, and feeling surrounded by lush nature in a space you want to bring your friends and family. There are raised beds already planted for the season, and a storage shed on concrete pad. The built-in brick barbeque and hot tub are both functional and will stay with the property. Whether you leave the yard as-is, or would like to reimagine it, one thing is certain: there is plenty of space!

Location: Tri-City Area
Spruce Street is located in Newark, a city of approximately 48,000 people in Alameda County, California. Newark is an enclave surrounded by the city of Fremont. Together with Union City, the three make up the Tri-City Area of the SF East Bay. It is in the Tamara/Lindale neighborhood, the second most expensive area of Newark. Around 41% of adults in Newark have a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared with the national average of 22% of adults.
Previously an agricultural, manufacturing, and railroad hub, Newark’s prime location 35 miles south of San Francisco has pushed its significant evolution into the dense suburban bedroom community it is today—a popular destination for families working in high-tech and biotech industries seeking a quiet, safe place to call home.
