Tucked into a sought-after pocket of Upper Rockridge, 5500 Carlton Street offers the best of both worlds—the serenity of Upper Rockridge living with easy access to the heart of Rockridge. Just minutes from College Avenue and Rockridge BART, this stylish 3+ bedroom, 2-bath bungalow blends charm, space, and location in one exceptional package. Backed by a scenic golf course, the home’s outdoor areas feel like a private retreat. Step inside to discover hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and striking architectural details throughout. The generous living room centers around a fireplace and features a large picture window that frames glimpses of San Francisco and the Bay—an ideal backdrop for year-round sunsets. The formal dining room, enhanced by built-in cabinetry, flows seamlessly into a cozy sitting area. The adjacent eat-in kitchen features newer appliances and ample counter space for any home chef. Step out onto the expansive deck-perfect for summer barbecues-or unwind in the serene backyard overlooking the golf course. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a lovely primary suite, complete the main level. A large bonus room (non-conforming) is a great media space, office or playroom. Location, light, and timeless style combine to create a perfect place to call home.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
