Palo Alto, California 94306
This Midtown Palo Alto Residential Property is a Strong Value Opportunity, listed at $2,450,000—positioned well below the $2,674,559 Fair Market Value by 8%. This valuation gap offers $224,559 in Instant Equity for buyers. While the home maintains a Condition Rating of 4, its significant upside stems from the 6,600 sqft lot and proximity to elite Palo Alto Unified Schools, including Henry M. Gunn High. This asset is perfectly suited for Developers or Owner-Occupants looking to build equity through modernization or expansion.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1946, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready but clearly dated. While it features newer stainless steel appliances, the kitchen retains older laminate countertops and the living areas feature original parquet wood flooring. The bathroom and systems appear functional but are beyond the 20-year mark for a full modernization, fitting the criteria for a home needing updates.
Middle School: Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School (9/10). High School: Henry M. Gunn High School (9/10).
The property is served by the highly acclaimed Palo Alto Unified School District, with access to top-rated institutions like El Carmelo Elementary and Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School.
