2431 McKinley AVE

Coming soon! 2429-2431 McKinley Ave is a very rare Central Berkeley property with nearly 3,300sf of living space across two homes. Set on a tree-lined street, the Spanish-style 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath main home and 1 bedroom, detached ADU set in its own private area inspire gatherings, indoor / outdoor living, calm, and flexibility. In 2003, the owners re-imagined the 1925 bungalow, lifting the structure to build an entirely new ground floor complete with a new foundation, updated systems, arched doorways, efficient Andersen windows and soaring 9-foot ceilings. The front door crafted of reclaimed Oakland Acacia wood by Zen woodworking legend Paul Discoe is a stunner. BART, buses and the very best of Berkeley are within easy reach. With a 90 Walk Score and 94 Bike Score, it's a dream location for commuters and locals alike! The community is tightknit, and you're close to a cross-town bike corridor, UC Berkeley, City College, Berkeley High and top-rated K-8 schools, Trader Joe's, Civic Center Park, farmers market, YMCA, places of worship, library, cafes, shops, restaurants and venues. Home Energy Score 4. Owned solar for both homes, too! If you're looking for a multi-generation property with separate living spaces, communal living, or a rental property, this could be the one.
