Remarks

Set on a desirable park-adjacent corner lot in Palo Alto's coveted Crescent Park neighborhood, this exceptional 10,500 sq. ft. property offers a rare chance to create something truly special. Surrounded by mature landscaping and bordered by the beauty of Eleanor Pardee Park, the setting is serene, established, and rarely available. The existing 2,391 sq. ft. residence features 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, offering an inviting foundation for renovation, redesign, or a more transformative vision. Held by the same family for more than 70 years, the property carries a meaningful sense of history while presenting endless possibilities for the future. Enjoy tree-lined streets, nearby downtown Palo Alto shopping and dining, acclaimed Palo Alto schools, Stanford University, Palo Alto Caltrain, and convenient access to major commute routes. Refresh. Reimagine. Rebuild. An extraordinary opportunity in one of Palo Alto's most sought-after neighborhoods.
