About This Home
As of April 2021A Berkeley gem, 2905 Newbury is an exquisite 4BD/3BA Eastlake “Stick” Victorian situated on a 5000 sq ft lot with a rare detached 2-car garage including a separate 1BD/1BA in-law apartment above (built in 2014). Lovingly maintained with thoughtful stylish upgrades that blend beautifully with the gorgeous Victorian ambience, the home features a formal dining room, beautifully remodeled chef’s kitchen and baths, and three bedrooms on one level - one configured with an enclosed sun porch. The home also includes an expansive back yard with an urban garden (and a chicken coop!), as well as wonderful vintage details like hip and gable roofs, fish scale decorative trim, and tall bay windows. Situated in South Berkeley, the home is moments from UC Berkeley, downtown Berkeley, and a wide array of independent shops, restaurants, and cafes. Conveniently located for commuters, the home is near major transportation routes including AC Transit and the Ashby and Downtown BART stations.
