Apparently having a house with windows in the front went out of vogue in 1979 – but that’s good for you’re afraid of catching bird flu from cross vent! Just seal off the two remaining windows/doors and you’re set. When we’re at Threat Level Red, you’ll be glad!

DESCRIPTION -
Palo Alto
First Time on Market in 48 years. Light and Bright Open Floor Plan. Painted inside and carpets cleaned. Huge Level Lot with Private yard. Neighborhood with many homes that have been Re Built. Many Possibilities.

They say you should always buy the worst house on the block. Being that the address isn’t listed for this house, and that it’s the first time its been on the market in 48 years, and that it’s in a neighborhood with many homes that have been “re built” – this might actually be a great opportunity for a tear down! That’d probably bring your total price to $1.1 million.

Now if only the comps for the neighborhood could be known…

Gotta love how they include an illustration of a house! I like to pretend too… After spending $999,500 perhaps you could put up a giant sign to show a house like that and live in an RV behind it.

This came to my attention today:

Let’s start the week off with a reader submission:

Action Properties: Palo Alto
Remodeled Home near University Avenue!!
321 Kipling Street

Is this modern art?

Matthew the submitter notes:

The house it like 12 feet wide from the front, with a property about 4 feet wider than the house.

Oddly Zillow lists it as 1 br/1 baths …

Have a good one!

I’m having a good one already. Thanks Matthew!
