An amazing deck overlooking the expansive yard, and silhouetted by the breathtaking views.

The upper cottage style unite is a storybook retreat—cabin-like and full of soul, with its own separate entrance, spacious living areas, formal dining room, sweet kitchen, and vintage character throughout. Plus two amazing decks- one offering privacy and another the panoramic views.

With room to grow, the expansive lot also offers possible future development potential.*** Whether you’re looking for multi-generational flexibility or a smart investment in one of Berkeley’s most iconic locations, 1150 Arch delivers.

Why north berkeley

Tucked in the heart of Berkeley, North Berkeley blends academic energy, natural beauty, and small-town charm. Just north of Downtown and west of the UC Berkeley campus, this neighborhood offers a coveted mix of tranquility and vibrancy—making it a favorite not only among students but also long-time residents, artists, and food lovers.

Nature, Parks & Outdoor Life
North Berkeley is spoiled with green spaces. Just minutes from 1150 Arch, you’ll find the stunning Berkeley Rose Garden, a terraced amphitheater blooming with thousands of roses and panoramic views of the Bay, including the Golden Gate Bridge. Just across the street is Codornices Park, where you can race down a concrete slide with a piece of cardboard and follow the creek trail under old stone bridges.
A short drive (or invigorating bike ride) up the hill leads to Tilden Regional Park, a sprawling oasis of hiking trails, the beloved Little Farm (bring celery to feed the goats!), Lake Anza, a summer swimming hotspot, and even a vintage carousel.

Foodie Heaven
North Berkeley is internationally known for its culinary legacy. It’s the birthplace of California cuisine, thanks to Alice Waters’ legendary Chez Panisse on Shattuck Avenue—just a short stroll from Santa Barbara Road. Alongside it in the famed Gourmet Ghetto, you’ll find local favorites like:
  • Cheeseboard Collective – worker-owned pizzeria and bakery with live jazz and rotating daily pies
  • Grégoire – French takeout with flaky potato puffs that locals dream about
  • Saul’s Deli – classic Jewish deli with modern twists
  • Nico’s 1508 – upscale yet cozy, with an incredible brunch menu
  • Luca Cucina Italiana – tucked-away spot with handmade pasta and neighborhood feel

Shops, Cafes & Community Life
Solano Avenue is just a short walk away, full of neighborhood boutiques, indie bookstores, Vanessa’s Bistro for Vietnamese fusion, and even the Oaks Climbing Gym if you're up for a bouldering challenge. Northbrae Bottle Shop offers curated wines, and Monterey Market is a produce lover’s paradise with a cult following.

On Thursdays, stop by the North Berkeley Farmers’ Market for organic veggies, fresh bread, and local cheese. And don’t miss the community charm at Live Oak Park, where festivals and open-air Shakespeare performances light up summer nights.
