English Tudor with a panoramic view of the Bay. Every room in the homes takes full advantage of the panorama of Oakland, San Francisco, and the Bay, which includes both bridges and everything from San Pablo Bay to miles down the Peninsula.

With an extra-large living room, dining room, and breakfast room and kitchen. The kitchen is usually large and is a masterpiece of careful planning and scientific, step saving arrangement. Oakland Tribune Aug 09, 1936
