352 Olive Ave

Abundant jasmine welcomes you to this lovely traditional home on a neighborly street in the most convenient Piedmont location. Close to every urban necessity on Grand, Lakeshore, and Piedmont Avenues, yet just a stone’s throw away from the serenity of the beautiful Rose Garden, & blocks to Lake Merritt. The main floor living area features gracious rooms with high ceilings, an impressive entry hall and stairwell, and a remodeled kitchen and full bath. 3 upstairs bedrooms each have abundant light and charm, including a larger bedroom with a sunroom that offers an opportunity to create an en-suite bath. An additional sunroom at the rear of the home offers spectacular hillside views and would make an ideal office. The lower level family room and bathroom (in-law? au pair?) can be accessed from an interior staircase as well as an exterior side door. The attached garage has been converted to an adult playground. The whimsical front and rear gardens are filled with fruit trees, treasures, and quite possibly the best treehouse in town. This is a “forever” home with abundant space, unrivaled City services and 12 years of award-winning public schools. Only a few blocks to Ace Hardware, award-winning Zachary's Pizza, Safeway, Trader Joe's, Fairy Land, and Piedmont "P" Transbay Bus.
