Property Description

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!
