About This Home
As of October 2024A mid-century modern gem in a highly desirable Palo Alto location, close to the city's vibrant downtown shops and restaurants, Caltrain, El Palo Alto Park, and mere minutes from Stanford University, and Stanford Shopping Center. Designed by prominent local architect W. George Yourieff and situated in a boutique 6-unit building, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath condominium has been thoughtfully updated with a commitment to preserving its timeless architectural style. The home features a spacious living room with classic MCM top-nailed oak floors, separate dining area with warm mahogany paneled walls and built-in shelving, and kitchen with refinished original cabinetry, breakfast bar, quartz counters, and newer appliances including Bosch induction cooktop and on-demand hot water heater. Additional features include a separate primary suite with walk-in shower, 1-car parking, extra storage, and top-rated Palo Alto schools (buyer to verify eligibility). True to its style, the interior and exterior knit together seamlessly, with direct access from both bedrooms via newer dual-paned sliding doors to a generously sized private rear yard with two distinct patio areas, a redwood deck and mature plantings. A welcoming living space with the best of urban living and Palo Alto right at your fingertips.
