A classic Old Palo Alto home ready for you to make your own! This inviting Colonial-style home has spacious rooms and beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The large living room and the dining room open to a glassed-in sunroom which, in turn, opens to the very generous garden. Off the sunroom, an ensuite bedroom has French doors to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room completes the ground floor. Upstairs is an over-sized primary bedroom with en-suite bath plus two additional spacious bedrooms, served by a hall bath. The laundry is also upstairs. The beautiful garden is anchored by a magnificent maple and mature border planting. An enlarged 2-car garage at the back corner of the property would make a terrific ADU conversion. Easy accessibility to California Avenue, downtown Palo Alto, Stanford and terrific schools!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
