1023 Forest Ave, Palo Alto, CA
Temperatures are warming up, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, and the real estate market is gearing up for a busy spring. There are so many old houses hitting the market that *need* your attention right now! Here is a mashup of everything that’s making me exclaim “Ok, that’s just…WOW!” at my computer screen this week.
1. 94 Court St, Plattsburgh, NY – $299,000
9 beds/4 baths
5,860 sqft, 0.3 acres
This one is currently the coziest B&B and looks very capable of forcing visitors to pull off the road and check right in. I’m partial to green, so this one checks all of my boxes from the curb, but I think the caliber of woodwork visible once stepping inside (grand staircase, inlay flooring, fabulous little fireplace arch area) could win over anyone.

2. 1023 Forest Ave, Palo Alto, CA – $5,488,000
4 beds/4 baths
4,516 sqft, 0.23 acres
Located just down the road from Google, Apple and Facebook in Silicon Valley, this home is the epitome of analog craftsmanship’s finer accomplishments.

3,985 sqft, 29.3 acres

6 beds/6 baths
5,100 sqft, 2.8 acres
This c.1933 Tudor estate has had several additions over the years, but I’m still loving it. It’s just a ten minute drive from Appomattox and has a lot of potential as an event venue.
