About This Home

As of October 2025

Elegant and expansive, this grand 1913 Craftsman by Louis Engler embodies the best of Berkeley’s architectural heritage. With 3,925 SF, eight bedrooms, and four baths, it offers timeless details, generous proportions, and a prime location in North Berkeley’s Gourmet District. Professionally landscaped gardens with fig, persimmon, and lemon trees surround the home, while French doors open from the kitchen and sitting room to a private backyard with a storybook garden shed. Inside, highlights include a majestic Bay-view living room with fireplace, updated kitchen with butler’s pantry and writing nook, and a lower-level studio with private entrance, kitchen, and bath—ideal for guests or extended family. Oak and Douglas fir floors, radiant heat with newer boiler, playful bathrooms and light-filled bedrooms add character and comfort. The primary suite, overlooks the Bay, while rear bedrooms face the lush garden. Cherished by one family for decades, 1305 Arch blends historic elegance with modern updates, just moments from Chez Panisse, Walnut Square, the Cheese Board, Solano Avenue shops, transportation hubs and more.
