About This Home

As of December 2021

Have you dreamed of owning an actual piece of history? Well, for the first time since 1907 2228 McKinley or the Rev. Richard P. Wilson House is available on the market. For many generations, this historical gem has been a room and board house for UC students while being run by the same family who have owned the property since 1907. From hosting the original suffragette whom attended UC to Berkeley, to the celebrity neighbors, this home is packed full of historical charm. It is currently set up in 4 separate units. The top floor consists of 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. This space has traditionally been used to dorm international UC students. The main floor has many of the quaint historical details from hand carved cherub faces in the archways to grandiose original sliding doors to the master bedroom. The basement has been converted into 3 separate apartments. This property also boasts a detached structure in the back that was used as an artist retreat and houses the original well.
