The Best of Both Worlds! 1170 Sterling is an enchanting 1938 Tudor-style home tucked into the North Berkeley Hills that has been recently transformed & updated by owners in residence since the early 1960’s. Almost everything (incl. electrical & plumbing) is new on the inside from an enlarged gorgeous kitchen with views, creation of a primary suite upstairs, and a new, enlarged bath on main level. This home combines architectural charm with all the desirable modern amenities and styles so in demand these days. The main level has a dramatic original living room w a vaulted wooden ceiling & two walls of windows, a spacious dining room opening to the view and deck, an extraordinary kitchen + sundrenched breakfast room opening to a large deck/views, as well as bedroom & gorgeous new hall bath. Upstairs are two beds, two baths, including primary suite, and loft area adjacent to 2nd BR. Downstairs includes an original rumpus room (non-conforming height) and a reworked lower level creating options for future development. A front garden/patio below the street and a lower garden for play offer opportunities to enjoy the charm of the hills. A spacious 1+ car garage has high ceilings and room for storage. It’s a dog-walking neighborhood, so easy to meet neighbors. Special Indeed!
