Remarks

Rare opportunity to own in the heart of downtown Palo Alto. This light-filled 2-bedroom, 2-bath condominium offers open-concept living just steps from everything that makes Palo Alto exceptional. Freshly painted with new carpet throughout, the home features an airy living and dining space that opens to a private walk-out balcony, plus Juliet balconies in every room that draw in abundant natural light and fresh air. The thoughtful floor plan provides excellent separation of space, ideal for both daily living and guests. Two independent deeded parking spaces and a large private locked storage unit offer rare convenience in this downtown setting. Step outside and you are moments from University Avenue and the area's acclaimed restaurants and cafés, close to Caltrain, two minutes from Whole Foods, and within easy reach of Stanford University. Leave the car behind and embrace a truly walkable lifestyle in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Silicon Valley. There is something almost divine about the simplicity of living exactly where you want to be. 165 Forest Avenue, Unit 4B delivers that rare combination of location, light, and livability in the center of it all.
