    What's special

    All the benefits of downtown Palo Alto. None of the noise. Tucked into the back of a small 18-unit community on Forest Avenue, this two-level corner townhouse sits at the interior of the city block, insulated from the street, quiet in a way that takes you by surprise, with a private patio that catches the afternoon sun and holds it through sunset. The neighbors aren't above you or below you. Two blocks away, University Avenue's restaurants and boutiques are doing exactly what they always do. Caltrain is minutes away. Palo Alto's dedicated bike lane network makes the commute even easier. The home has been thoughtfully updated, with a renovated kitchen and refreshed baths that bring the interiors squarely into the present. New flooring throughout, an open living area, and sliding glass doors lead to that quiet patio. Two generous bedrooms upstairs. Two assigned secure underground parking spaces. A private community pool. In-unit laundry. Spend weekends exploring the neighborhood or traveling without a second thought For buyers stepping into Palo Alto from San Francisco or transitioning from a larger home nearby, 633 Forest Ave delivers the address, the schools, and the lifestyle in a form that works harder and requires less.
