Hey historic home watchers,

Here it is, as featured in the book "Storybook Style" the central castle on Picardy Drive in Oakland.  Run to your local library and look up this book and check out this building! 

This was the sales office for the tract and showed off the talents of architect W.w. Dixon and builder R.c. Hillen.  The living room of this unit looks and feels like a castle.

Marvin Garden Real Estate is listing this property 5717 N. Picardy Drive.  It is listed for $525,ooo.oo.  The local MLS # for this listing is 40332889.

Contact me if you are interested in seeing this landmark property.
