The property balances original character with meaningful improvements in one of the city's most accessible areas. Inside, the light-filled layout offers comfortable living and dining spaces with natural flow. Well-proportioned bedrooms and split-level design accommodate work-from-home needs, guests, or creative space. With 2.5 baths, the home suits growing families, house hackers, or investors. Recent improvements include interior/exterior paint, kitchen refresh, decommissioned knob-and-tube wiring, new front door, and water heater. Outdoor living stands out. The yard has been reconfigured for usability and privacy—driveway space was converted to expand the patio, which was enclosed with fencing. The paved patio, rear pathway, and garden beds create a functional extension ideal for entertaining, gardening, or daily use. The quiet, tree-lined street is private yet close to Telegraph Avenue's cafés, shops, and transit, with convenient access to downtown, campus, and the East Bay. 2401 Carleton Street has been steadily improved and carefully maintained, positioned for its next owner to enjoy immediately and over time. Home energy score of 1.
