Property Description
Welcome to 350 Florence Ave, home of retired world traveler and prominent computer scientist and mathematician known for her pioneering work in programming languages. Beautifully maintained and upgraded, this classic and gracious, light-filled two plus story traditional features Bay, Oakland and SF views, large rooms, well preserved, original 30’s architectural details, numerous updated systems, a primary bedroom with its own deck and a glorious terraced backyard with two patios, an outdoor fireplace, orchids, roses, lilies, citrus trees and an arbor draped in pears. The backyard, designed by Lazar Landscape and Design, is fondly called the “Secret Garden”, due to its mature plantings and trees, winding pathways and hidden seating areas. It’s the perfect spot to play hide and seek or enjoy a meal al dente. Ideally located, a 5 minute drive to Rockridge BART, and close to Lake Temescal, Village Market and Hillcrest Elementary. The main level features a grand piano-sized living room, with beautiful San Francisco and Oakland views, random plank hardwood floor and a fireplace, a formal dining room with French doors to a lovely patio, a fabulous remodeled kitchen with a double oven, stone countertops and abundant storage, and a bedroom and full bath. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms, one the primary, with a private deck and lovely views, and a charming bath with separate tub and shower, and impeccably preserved vintage fixtures. The lower level, accessible from the main level, has a wonderful rec. room, once used as a theater. Additional amenities include extensive seismic retrofitting, a 200 amp electrical service and all knob and tube wiring removed, an on-demand water heater, fresh interior paint and an attached 2-car garage with attic storage above.
