Property Description
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.
