This lovely Norman revival is particularly showy with its steeply pitched roof and imposing turret. Inside, it is equally impressive with a grand living room full of inventive details and hand-adzed woodwork. It is an especially creative take on a form that is already one of the most playful of the typical period revival styles.
- Edificionado is an Oakland-based real estate brokerage specializing in architecturally and historically significant homes. The listings we feature here are those that have recently caught our eye due to their provenance or exceptional state of preservation. We select them without regard to size, price, or location and in general we are not the listing broker, so we have no stake in their being posted here. As we are based in Oakland, most of the homes will be in the East Bay, though we may throw one in from elsewhere in the Bay Area from time to time. If you would like to visit any of these homes, or receive a personalized list of properties more tailored to your specific requirements and tastes please contact Christian Olson at colson@edificionado.com or at 510 686 3343.

Is that a W.W. Dixon (architect) home?
It definitely has some similarities with known Dixon homes, but more research would need to be done to confirm authorship. The home is part of a nice symmetrically composed cluster of turreted homes there on Park between Otis and Roosevelt that were obviously built together as a tract which would also be in keeping with Dixon’s typical practice.
