Welcome to the good life in Berkeley!

I first came here many many years ago as a UC Berkeley student and am so glad after decades, the café is thriving with a parklet and a loyal following with its good old-fashioned, healthy comfort food.

What's for lunch? The Berkeley Farmers Market of course.

then come work off your morning indulgences by touring 2431 McKinley!

Now don't bother me: I'm eating.

So excited to be entering the second week of open So excited to be entering the second week of open houses for 2431 McKinley Ave. in Berkeley -- a Mediterranean style 4 bedroom home with a detached ADU.

2431 McKinley Ave 
Open August 1 & 2 2-5pm

If Mediterranean style, extra space in an ADU and a central location* near BART top your must-have house hunting list (or your clients' lists), the time to visit is now!
 
* a neighbor said he never had to get a drivers license in his 80ish years in the area because he walks and takes public transportation everywhere around the Bay Area...including  counties across the Bay!

Love these amazing clients so much - I remember th Love these amazing clients so much - I remember the moment we met at an open house. They said "you're not like other agents." Probably because o was pointing out all the benefits of living near a cemetery. 

We stayed in touch over the years, no pressure, life changes. They finally found the one. They are stoked. I am stoked! 🔥

After I bring the trash to the street at our new l After I bring the trash to the street at our new listing at 2431 McKinley and celebrate a new pending contract for a buyer by swinging by @thebageltopia , then realize I don't have my office key, but I can get on Wi-Fi outside and start eating my bagel when I forgot that I don't have napkins. And just don't care. 🥯 Because life is good!

It's another wonderful day in Berkeley where every day is a beautiful adventure!

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.

Visit BerkeleyBasecamp.com for all the pics, Matterport and contact info. Offers to be reviewed August 4th, 2026!

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!
