Iconic 1906 Berkeley Brown Shingle Craftsman Home — Walk to Campus & BART

Description

Welcome to the McGee House, which is charming, warm and filled with character. This home is located in one of Central Berkeley's most desired residential neighborhoods — just a short walk from the UC Berkeley campus and all the intellectual and cultural life the city has to offer. Built in 1906, this thoughtfully maintained home offers four bedrooms (1 king, 2 queens, 1 twin) and two full bathrooms, plus one additional flex room downstairs that can serve as a home office, study, guest room, or additional bedroom depending on your needs — making it an ideal fit for a visiting professor, a couple, or a small family. The house is fully furnished and move-in ready. If a family with young children is interested in this home, we have a limited supply of children’s furniture and gear that can be provided as well (crib, pack n play, high chair, etc.). The backyard is rustic and home to a small grove of mature redwood trees, which provide shade, and a sense of peace and privacy. The back deck is a lovely place to retreat or entertain, and there are two garden beds ready for planting for any tenant with a green thumb! The location is exceptional. McGee Avenue sits at the heart of Central Berkeley, one of the most walkable and bikeable parts of the city. The UC Berkeley campus is an easy walk (~ 20 min) or quick bike ride away. Downtown Berkeley -- with its BART station, independent bookstores, cafes, farmers market, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, and some of the best restaurants in the East Bay -- is equally close. Street parking on McGee Avenue is convenient and readily available (we will facilitate tenants in obtaining neighborhood parking stickers). The home comes equipped with a brand new washer/dryer, new refrigerator, high-speed WiFi, and cable. It is a non-smoking household. Pets are negotiable. This is a home that has been deeply loved and holds a tremendous amount of history within its walls. We are seeking a tenant who will appreciate its character, quiet, and lovely setting.
