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. Development potential reaches up to 8,330 sq ft. The home radiates period charm: plaster walls, stepped ceilings with original molding, a wood-burning fireplace, refinished oak and fir hardwood floors, and graceful arched doorways. The living room offers an elegant vista onto a tranquil street. The generous dining room drinks in natural light. The kitchen features a Bosch dishwasher, LG refrigerator, and Kenmore Elite five-burner range, with dual pantry closets for flexible storage. A cozy office overlooks the expansive yard. The semi-finished basement provides Bosch laundry, mechanicals, and abundant storage. Both bedrooms are sun-filled; one includes a walk-in closet. The full bath offers a soaking tub, shower, and heated floors. Minutes from exceptional shopping, dining, Stanford University, and Silicon Valley's leading employers. Top-rated Palo Alto schools.
