Introducing the Pyke House. Originally commissioned by and built for Albert Pyke in 1927, a Hollywood art director who worked on Citizen Kane and other Films and Television shows. Though strongly influenced by French Normandy and English Tudor style, this home's whimsical elements make it a true Storybook Architectural: an abundance of wood shingled roof surfaces, curved and wavy half-timbering, a large chimney constructed of both crazed and clinker brick, randomly-placed stones in walls and chimney, a batten type front door with oversized storybook hinges, and a fence made of boards of varying length. The property features 3 beds 1 full bath and 2 powder baths. The backyard features a great-sized Old Original fountain and plenty off space for entertaining. Full Mexican tiled bathroom. All 3 baths have been re-done, also re-done kitchen featuring genuine Batchelder tile from the 1920's (One of Only Two known to exist!) Recent half-roof, whole house water treatment unit and A/C.
