Berkeley, California | , Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty

With breathtaking bridge-to-bridge views from a crown point of the Berkeley Hills, 1061 Sterling Avenue is an exquisitely-updated Mediterranean-inspired home and an exceptional example of a California Bay Area luxury living.

Each room of this graciously-proportioned home is flooded with natural light from the large windows found on two levels. Three balconies and an expansive, newly-installed, oversized redwood deck provide indoor-outdoor living and maximum Bay Area views, sunsets, and stargazing. The great room provides a unique open and comfortable tiled space, reminiscent of a plaza.

Ideal for entertaining and featuring an elegant custom metal-fronted fireplace, the area flows out to the deck, the elevated formal dining room, and a wet bar. A comfortable, sunny office alcove adjoins it with a unique redwood desk. A large, modern, light-filled chef’s kitchen, including top-quality appointments and a unique concrete eat-at counter that provides a natural gathering place, leads to a media room and informal dining area with a charming balcony.

Upstairs, you’ll find three sun-drenched bedrooms, spacious personal quarters, and spa-worthy amenities, including a glass-walled shower that doubles as a steam room. The master bedroom offers enviable direct views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Tamalpais, and is adjoined by a large walk-in closet. Throughout, you’ll find that the home provides many individual spaces while at the same time providing unparalleled openness and flow.
