About This Home

As of October 2024

This hidden gem is primed for a transformation! While it has suffered partial fire damage, it offers a fantastic opportunity for an experienced investor or contractor. With a strong floor plan and a desirable location in a well-established neighborhood, the property holds immense potential. Located in East Palo Alto. Sorry, the NHD report was received on September 19, 2024. It is in a flood zone. The seller purchased this property seven years ago when it was not in a flood zone and never purchased flood insurance, too.. the home was listed for sale following a fire in August 2022. Photos reveal fire damage to the front and rear rooms, with ceiling debris scattered in the kitchen and family room, highlighting the need for repairing...
