For the first time in 50 years, 2221 McGee Ave is opening its doors to a new chapter. This 2,902-square-foot, 4+-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has been lovingly maintained by the same family for half a century, blending timeless charm with quality craftsmanship in the heart of Downtown Berkeley. Inside, character and comfort shine. The main floor includes a cozy bedroom and remodeled bath, perfect for guests or a private retreat. Sunlight streams through bay and double pane wood windows, while hardwood, tile, and carpeted floors pair beautifully with two fireplaces. The chef's kitchen, featuring a classic gas stove and eat-in dining area, flows effortlessly into the formal dining room and front living room, all designed for living and entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a walk-in closet, clawfoot tub, walk-in-shower and a light-filled porch room. Two additional bedrooms, a spacious family room, and a large office provide ample space for work, play, and downtime. Outside, the fenced garden, patio, and porch create a private oasis with a garden shed and plenty of outdoor eating and play areas. Location seals the deal. Steps from BART, UC Berkeley, and cultural landmarks like the Repertory Theatre, and just a short stroll to Shattuck Ave's lively shops and restaurants.
