Listing information updated 1/28/2026 at 1:44pm

Just south of downtown University Avenue in Palo Alto, this duplex presents a terrific opportunity. Its proximity to the heart of Palo Alto, Stanford University, and world-renowned Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford make it highly desirable. Sand Hill Road, home to preeminent venture capital firms, is nearby, too! The deferred maintenance makes this situation ideal for someone who prioritizes location and wants a blank canvas to start with. Do not go onto the property without a confirmed appointment. Showing appointments will be scheduled after providing proof of funds and signed the RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT. The house may have air quality issues. All visitors must wear N95 masks or respirators and booties and any other personal protective equipment they might need. Offers will not be accepted before 30 days on the MLS - Per instructions from Seller.
