Property Description

Big Lot Energy, Cozy Cottage Soul! On the serene streets of Palo Alto's treasured Southgate neighborhood lies one of its last undiscovered gems: a 13,000 sq ft lot with a warm, inviting home and extraordinary potential. Lush gardens feature a fountain, covered pergola, shed, and a spacious secondary structure with rustic beam track lighting, AC, and skylights -- ideal as studio, office, or guest retreat.
