Thinking of moving to Berkeley and want to be close to BART and everything? Don't miss this chance...coming from a Cal alum and longtme local. This one is rare.

Set on a tree-lined street in Central Berkeley, 2341 McKinley is a Spanish-style 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath main home with a 1 bedroom, detached ADU. The property was designed to inspire gatherings, indoor/outdoor living, calm, and flexibility. The 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.

With the original 1925 home lifted in 2003 to create the ground level and perform a full update on the house, this is a rare Berkeley property that combines character, space, condition, charm and location in the Berkeley flats, in the historic Spaulding-McGee district.

Many resources say that a Nespresso Vertuo machine needs a descaling process, which is something you have to order online, but I discovered that there was water sitting in the holder where the coffee pod goes and wiping that totally has fixed my problem, and the machine has been working reliably!
