Sheila Sabine - Property Pick of the Week - 1703 19th Ave., Oakland

It is so refreshing to step away from all the perfectly groomed updated homes with the latest that money can buy, and into a 1886 home with original details in place. This Historic Victorian residence is located in one of the old neighborhoods of Oakland, San Antonio named after San Antonio park which is a block away. The park boasts a communal garden, tennis courts and walking trails.


The house is a whimsical romantic experience from start to finish. It is a perfect example of Victorian architecture complete with fishtail shingles, high peaked roofs, tall windows and lofty interior spaces. There is also beautiful original woodwork in the rambling stairwell and front entry cabinetry. The original old sinks and clawfoot bathtub are reminiscent of scented roses and lavender baths. The kitchen stove is wood burning. It also has an overgrown and delightfully romantic rear garden. Arrive in your horse drawn carriage - a  nice surprise awaits you.

Rotary Peace Grove at Tilden Park

Image
High atop the hills of Tilden Park sits a serene sanctuary known as the Rotary Peace Grove. This section of the park was donated to Berkeley Rotary in 1955 when they began planting redwood trees. Each year, a different tree is dedicated to a leader in world peace and bronze plaques are displayed with the honorees' names at the base of each tree. The members of the Rotary club prune and  clean up regularly to help preserve the magic and the beauty. The hike to the grove makes a wonderful outing for the entire family.
