About This Home
As of November 2019At the corner of Hale Street and Forest Avenue, a few blocks from bustling downtown Palo Alto, this classic storybook cottage provides the perfect entree into prestigious Crescent Park--one of Palo Altos most desirable neighborhoods! The traditional foyer opens to a light filled, gracious, living room that makes a great first impression and invites gathering. In the adjacent dining room a vintage chandelier sets a festive tone for everyday meals and holiday celebrations alike. This quintessential 3 bedroom, 3 bath 1930s cottage exudes period character throughout. It also offers a quiet setting anchored by a majestic oak providing cool shade in the front garden and a heritage redwood in the rear. This property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of what Palo Alto has to offer--excellent schools, a vibrant downtown, Stanford University and proximity to leading technology companies!
