About This Home
Discover 2429-2431 McKinley Ave, a 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 inspire gatherings, indoor/outdoor living, calm, and flexibility. This location puts BART, buses and the very best of Berkeley within easy reach. With a 90 Walk Score and 94 Bike Score, this location is a dream for commuters and locals alike. 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 result: 2619sf of space with the airy, elevated feel of a Mediterranean villa, modern comforts, and quality that endures. The home's artistry begins at the covered porch, where you're greeted by a magnificent front door, hand-crafted from reclaimed Oakland Acacia wood by renowned Zen woodworker Paul Discoe. A custom black iron railing lines the staircase, leading to a primary suite that spans the entire west side of the upper level. Afternoon light bathes this retreat overlooking a calming olive tree. Work in the bright office nook and enjoy an en-suite bath with a vintage clawfoot tub. Three more upstairs bedrooms share a refreshed hallway bathroom with a shower/tub combo. Downstairs, refinished Jatoba cherry wood floors glow under light pouring through arched windows. Flow from the great room to the dining room to the kitchen-an open-concept layout ideal for daily life and lively parties. Wood cabinetry, Saltillo tile floors, a granite island with bar sink, gas range, breakfast area, and sliding glass doors anchor this warm, refined space. A powder room is tucked discreetly nearby. Wander out to the bamboo-lined patio for coffee, work and relaxation. Beyond a redwood privacy fence, the permitted, 667sf ADU is ideal as a rental or communal or multi-generational living. An open floor plan, updated kitchen and bath, vaulted ceilings with skylights and serene garden setting make the ADU a true haven. Got stuff? You'll love the large storage shed with shelving. 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.
