Overview:

This direct sale is comprised of 1 single-family home located in the College Terrace Neighborhood in Palo Alto.

This home is subject to a Restricted Residential Ground Lease, and Stanford is selling this leasehold interest through the FSH Direct Sale Process.

This home is being sold “AS-IS”.

Restricted Ground Lease

All homes located on Stanford lands are subject to a ground lease. Not all ground leases are the same.

This home is subject to the Stanford “Restricted Residential Ground Lease” (Restricted Ground Lease). The Restricted Lease program is designed to help address the challenge of finding affordable housing at Stanford and in surrounding cities. By restricting certain rights of lessees, the University is able to offer long-term leasehold interests at significantly less than the cost of either a conventional leasehold interest or fee ownership of an otherwise comparable home.

Information regarding the Restricted Ground Lease is available for reference here.

 

Direct Sale Process:

This home is being sold via Direct Sale on a “first come first served” basis to Eligible Faculty who:

  • Initial Deposit Check (a bank deposit check payable to First American Title Company for Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000)); and
  • A letter from a lender or evidence that demonstrates the prospective buyer's ability to purchase the home.
