A Lovingly Restored and Updated c.1895 Victorian in One of Berkeley's
Most Desirable and Conveniently Walkable Neighborhoods
1415 Arch Street, Berkeley
Asking Price: $1,350,000
Sold: $1,350,000
A grand Victorian home that might otherwise be found in Pacific Heights, 1415 Arch graces this quiet North Berkeley street with an elegance that is both grounded in history and modern living. Original architectural details include 10' ceilings, fine-grained redwood detailing, gleaming oak and fir floors, butler's staircase, dining room and pantry built-ins, several stained and beveled glass windows, and a striking newel post light fixture.
There is a formal entry hall with rich redwood paneling, a large living room and parlor (perfect for a baby grand piano!) a banquet-sized formal dining room, and a former sunporch that has been remade as a modern media room, with built-in speakers and a large flat screen tv. A few steps up takes you to the large south and west facing patio area, perfect for sun bathing and al fresco dining.
The kitchen has modern butcher block counters, tile floor, farmhouse sink and a separate pantry and built-in buffet. The laundry room is conveniently located off the kitchen and adjacent to the rear butler's staircase, leading up to the bedrooms.
All three of the bedrooms are quite spacious, with the front bedroom featuring a comfortable sitting area and stunning Bay and Golden Gate Bridge views. The rear bedroom has a very large walk-in closet that is also plumbed for an additional bathroom, as well as an attached "plus" room which faces south for great light.
Down in the basement, there is abundant storage, and one can see the newer foundation, seismic retrofitting, and other updated systems.
The basic specs are:
Three "++" Bedrooms/Two Full Baths
3,039 Sq. Ft. of Living Space, per Appraiser's Measurement
5,761 Sq. Ft. Lot Size, per Public Record
As for neighborhood, here are just a few of the easy-to-walk-to amenities: Live Oak Park, the Rose
Garden and Cordinices Park, the Thurs organic farmer's market, Peet's Coffee, Juice Bar Collective, Chez Panisse, Cesar's and Cha Am restaurants, Andronicos and Safeway markets, and of course, the Cheese Board. Also nearby is the North Berkeley BART, downtown Berkeley, and U.C.
