469 Homer Avenue
Palo Alto

Deemed an authentic Craftsman bungalow, this home was built in 1908 with architecture by Charles E. Hodges, one of Palo Alto’s earliest architects and the University Architect of Stanford University. As a result, the home has historical significance based on Criterion 2 (the structure or site is particularly representative of an architectural style or way of life important to the city, state or nation) and Criterion 5 (the architect or building was important). The home is entirely clad in shingles with plaster walls inside and floors that include hardwood on the main level, still intact in some rooms. A welcoming covered front porch has been partially converted to a sunroom off the living room and what was once the formal dining room is now a flexible-use room as an office or bedroom with its adjoining bonus bath. The property is zoned for “fraternity/sorority” offering flexible use as a single-family residence or investment opportunity for multiple rentals. The location is superb in the heart of downtown just two blocks from University Avenue and minutes to Stanford University.
