Remarks

Rare Opportunity In Prestigious Old Palo Alto Located in the heart of Old Palo Alto, here is your rare opportunity to build your own custom dream home. Whether you are ready to build right now or plan to build quite some time in the future, you can use this real estate right now. This prime real estate parcel has two houses and a free-standing garage. The front house is a delightful mediterranean style house with stucco walls topped with decorative architectural details and red clay tile window eaves. Behind it, separated by a lawn, is the free standing garage with an attached arbor over a patio that faces the front house. Behind the garage is the second house, a one bedroom wood-shingled home. Both houses are built in the style of early Palo Alto homes and are in excellent condition. If you like older traditional style homes, you would be reluctant to replace them.
