HOUSE AND NEIGHBORHOOD This storybook style house in historic Idora Park is in the vibrant Temescal neighborhood of North Oakland, close to Berkeley and downtown Oakland. The 1931 single-family home has been thoroughly and lovingly upgraded to meet today's residential needs and wants including solar power while keeping its original charm and fine craftsmanship. Located on a corner lot of tree-lined, vintage-lamp-lined streets, in a pole-free area with electricity and telephone lines run underground, the split-level house is a masterfully remodeled residence fit for a modern-day fairytale. Idora Park was an early 1900s Victorian-era amusement park, with a fanciful merry-go-round, a sky railway, a roller coaster, a zoo with grizzly bears and ostriches, vaudeville performers, a skating rink, an opera house, and a miniature auto-racing course. The area was developed as a residential neighborhood after the amusement park closed in 1929, and each house was built to have an old-English, fairytale look, which this house epitomizes. Today this impeccable two-bed, two-bath house sits majestically in the hub of a commute-friendly, walk-friendly neighborhood, with bountiful dining and shopping options on near-by Rockridge, Telegraph Ave, College Ave, Claremont Ave, and Broadway.
