1648 Francis St

About this home

Tucked away at the end of the lane and surrounded by trees, 1648 Francis Street is an unusually private, 2+ bedroom Crockett home with a flexible three-level layout, multiple outdoor deck spaces, gated driveway, and views toward the Carquinez Strait and bridges. The main level is devoted to the shared living spaces, with a large, open living and dining area, oversized windows and doors opening to the deck. The updated kitchen combines white cabinetry, stone counters and stainless appliances with warm wood details found throughout the home. A powder room completes this level. Upstairs, the expansive suite feels like a retreat of its own. Vaulted ceilings, distinctive windows, multiple closets and an adjoining bonus room create a space with remarkable scale and flexibility. The bonus room could serve as an office, dressing room, sitting area or other useful extension of the suite. Separate exterior access adds another layer of versatility, while views across Crockett toward the Strait and bridges bring the setting into the room. The lower level offers a second generously sized suite with substantial closet space and a full bath, along with a separate laundry area and direct access to a private, enclosed patio with gated entry. With its own exterior entrance, this level feels comfortably separate from the rest of the home and lends itself to a variety of living arrangements. A finished, detached structure adds yet another dimension to the property. With vaulted ceilings, built-in shelving, carpet, and heating & cooling, it makes an especially appealing home office, studio, or quiet retreat away from the main house. Additional storage is available in a separate basement room. Plus a 220v outlet in the driveway makes EV charging a breeze. Built in 1991, the home offers newer construction than much of Crockett's older housing stock while retaining a character all its own. A gated driveway provides off-street parking, and the tucked-away setting gives the property a rare sense of privacy and separation. Views: Carquinez
