For Sale

$3,200,000

Just south of downtown University Avenue in Palo Alto, this duplex presents a terrific opportunity. Its proximity to the heart of Palo Alto, Stanford University, and world-renowned Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford make it highly desirable. Sand Hill Road, home to preeminent venture capital firms, is nearby, too! The deferred maintenance makes this situation ideal for someone who prioritizes location and wants a blank canvas to start with.

All visitors must provide proof of funds and signed RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT. The house may have air quality issues. All visitors must bring their own N95 masks or respirators and booties and any other personal protective equipment they might need.
