Property Description
Tucked into the historic Cragmont District, 1170 Sterling Ave is an enchanting 1938 storybook Tudor that perfectly captures the "Simple Home" philosophy of the Berkeley Hills where homes were designed to harmonize with the natural beauty of the hills. Welcoming you home, a charming private courtyard with patio offers a peaceful retreat framed by lush greenery and classic brickwork. This 4-bed, 3-bath home blends timeless architectural charm with modern comfort across 2,490 square feet. Inside, a graceful curved staircase, exposed beams, and arched entryways create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The heart of the home is a beautifully updated kitchen that flows into a light filled sunroom and an expansive deck, ideal for morning coffee or evening sunsets over the Golden Gate Bridge. The living room features vaulted ceilings and a classic fireplace providing the perfect setting for both peaceful nights and lively gatherings. One bedroom and an updated bathroom complete the main floor. Upstairs, the serene primary suite with sweeping Bay views is complemented by an additional bright bedroom with 220 square foot bonus loft, ideal for a nursery or office. Downstairs, a permitted one bedroom JADU with an office space, dining area, separate entrance and a 395 square foot bonus room provides flexibility for guests or rental income. Outside, enjoy a peaceful backyard with a flourishing loquat tree and direct access to Stevenson Path, connecting you to Tilden Park and the Rose Garden. This is more than a home; it's a lifestyle rooted in nature and community. Home Energy Score 4.
