3869 Newton Street

Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street in the highly sought-after Berkeley/Highlands neighborhood, this beautifully updated 1913 brick bungalow seamlessly blends historic charm with modern living. A welcoming front porch and original solid wood door set the tone for the character you'll find throughout. Inside, high ceilings, crown molding, arched doorways, expansive windows, and rich hardwood floors create warmth and timeless appeal. The spacious living room centers around a working gas fireplace and flows effortlessly into a dining area framed by a classic bay window. The home underwent a thoughtful remodel and addition in 2022, introducing a stunning primary suite. The updated kitchen features marble countertops, abundant cabinetry, and sunny south-facing windows. Just beyond, you'll find a beautifully designed 3/4 bathroom and a secondary bedroom. A flexible bonus space off the kitchen functions perfectly as a playroom, office, or mudroom -- keeping everyday life organized and out of sight. Privately situated at the rear of the home, the new primary suite offers a generous bedroom, walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bathroom complete with a luxurious steam shower. The finished basement expands the living space with two conforming bedrooms (with egress windows), a newly renovated bathroom, laundry area, ample storage, and a cozy den. Outdoor living is equally impressive. The professionally designed xeriscape front yard -- complete with drip irrigation -- reflects the seller's expertise as a professional landscaper. The backyard features a covered patio and electrical hookups ready for a hot tub or EV charging. A shared driveway leads to the original one-car garage, ideal for a small vehicle, bikes, or gear. This home embodies the best of the neighborhood: classic bungalow architecture, modern updates, and an unbeatable location on a mature, secure block. Just blocks from Highlands Square and the fun on Tennyson Street
