2620 Lincoln Avenue, Belmont

The Lincoln House is ideally located in Belmont—the heart of the Peninsula. This updated and expanded cottage was probably once host to vacationers from San Francisco. Built in 1939, many summer retreats were constructed in Belmont to provide respite and relaxation as well as an escape from the fog in San Francisco. These once small lodges have since been expanded upon and updated to include modern amenities while cultivating and retaining the ambiance of the period workmanship, allure and rural setting. Respecting the period charm has been distilled down to the most authentic touches—such as antiqued glass door knobs and reproduction retro push-button light switches. Tucked away atop one of Belmont’s most desirable locations with sweeping views, it also has a rare, large usable level yard.
