Here’s your chance to move into one of Palo Alto’s most desirable locations — the charming Southgate neighborhood, just minutes from Stanford University with convenient access to the entire San Francisco Bay Area. This 2,345-square-foot custom two-story home includes 4 bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with plenty of living space throughout. Situated on a private lot with mature landscaping, this property offers the character, craftsmanship, and community that makes Southgate so highly sought.

 

Built in 1928 with quintessential 20th-century features, this home has been modernized throughout, offering a highly functional floor plan with luxurious touches. The home’s timeless design, quality architecture, and detailed finishes are complemented with hardwood flooring, new paint, updated kitchen, updated bathrooms and fine fixtures. A welcoming front yard with brick walkway and steps leads you into this vintage home, where you’re greeted by a formal living room with a gas fireplace. The bright kitchen has a large garden window, custom cabinets, marble countertops, and high-end appliances, including a sub-zero refrigerator. An adjacent utility area has a pantry, laundry closet, and built-in desk with shelves. The grand family room, highlighted by an expansive bay window overlooking the backyard, flows seamlessly from the kitchen and dining area, creating a large space for gathering and entertaining. A single French door opens to a wood deck and stone patio, providing easy access to the outdoor living space. A single bedroom and full bathroom complete the downstairs living space. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has access to a full, upgraded bathroom with shower and tub. There are also two additional bedrooms with closets, providing ample room for the family. The home also has a traditional basement for utility and storage. A detached two-car garage sits back on the property, accessible via long driveway with a gate. This charming home is nestled on a 5,250-square-foot lot with mature landscaping, among similar homes on the tree-lined street, with large open spaces (Peers Park, Stanford University, Palo Alto High School) just blocks away.

 

Tucked privately just off El Camino Real, with no cut-through traffic, Southgate is known for its quaint character, safe and quiet streets, pedestrian-friendly pathways, and neighborly residents. But that’s not all. It sits in close proximity to Stanford University and Stanford Shopping Center, Town & Country Village, downtown Palo Alto, and California Avenue Farmers’ Market — along with other excellent dining, schools, and recreation facilities, including Peers Park. What’s more, this prime location offers easy access to the greater San Francisco Bay Area, with ample commute corridors and public transportation to major business centers, including Silicon Valley and San Jose.
