1340 Arch

In 1905, John White, while working with his brother-in-law, Bernard Maybeck, designed this grand home for Fredrick and May Wallace. Located on a very large lot, this stately 3.5 story home overlooks a wonderful south-facing front garden. Passing through the rose covered entry gate, the brick path curves through the garden up to the massive timber-bracketed entry porch. In the 1930's, the house was sold to Lorene and Prof. Carl Sauer, a well-known geographer at UC Berkeley. It then passed to the writer Amy Wallace in the 1970's. The present owners have substantially upgraded and retrofitted Rose'n Arch with love and care during their 11 year stewardship.

This home has 7 bedrooms, 5 baths. Features include:

• Magnificent redwood paneled living room with clinker brick fireplace
