Well, there isn't a dog park, but you can certainly walk to brunch or to the Gesu Community Playground from a house in the University District. Also, although there are plenty of Tudors [[not all from the 30's) there are many other housing types in a reasonable range of sizes in the areas you mention.
I wanted to buy a big mansion in Boston Edison but I'm being scared off by the neighborhood.
If you like large, there is a good-sized house on a large lot for sale on Fairway at the moment, although it is not really my cup of tea:

There are also a couple of large houses for sale in Palmer Woods right now, but they are comparatively expensive.
