Located on a quiet street in Lincoln Heights, 2643 Charleston is an enchanting 3+BD/2BA home with a garden-level guest suite and sweeping bay and San Francisco views. Upon approach by way of a brick pathway, you will pass mature shrubs and trees. Inside this 2540 square foot home, a spacious living room with wide-plank hardwood floors and fireplace greet you. Step out onto the deck, take in the spectacular view, and look down on a private garden and patio. From the living room, pass through the separate dining room and into the eat-in kitchen, which features stainless steel appliances and custom touches, from a backsplash with mosaic tiles, to natural stone countertops, to a convenient dual sink, to a fashionable, sustainably produced Marmoleum floor. Morning light streams into the breakfast nook from the front garden.

Up a short staircase lit by a skylight, you will find two of the home’s spacious bedrooms; one has two closets as well as an expansive four-bridge view that stretches up to Mt. Tamalpais. The hallway bath features a separate shower and tub, along with some vintage touches.

Accessible through both the kitchen and the back garden, the lower level of 2643 Charleston is a versatile space with a large common area that includes a second fireplace and window seats with storage, a bedroom, and a bath with shower. It also has a laundry area with hookups and external access to a detached bonus room with bay views, ideal for an office or art studio.

The private back garden holds many possibilities, with a lawn, fruit trees, mature shrubbery, and a patio, completing the home’s tranquil atmosphere. Tucked behind the greenery is a former greenhouse that could be renovated or repurposed as a kids’ clubhouse or fort.
