Fantastic opportunity to live in downtown Palo Alto! Spacious and sun-drenched, this unit is on the second floor of a 2-story building, just blocks from shops and restaurants. Large rooms with balconies off both the living room and the master bedroom. Hardwood floors throughout. The condo is on one level, giving a much greater sense of space than most 2-story models, and has great storage space.
