Lucie Stern home that made Palo Alto history for highest price tag in 2015 sells for $30.7M
This week, a 4,721-square-foot Spanish colonial home that iconic Palo Alto architect Birge Clark built for Levi Strauss heir Lucie Stern in 1932 sold for $30.7 million in Old Palo Alto. Clark, whose red-tiled roofs, stucco walls, arches and wrought iron details defined the burgeoning city’s early streetscapes, built the three-bedroom, five-bath home alongside Stern’s personal residence so her disabled daughter, Ruth, could live next door. The home made history in 2015 when it sold for $30 million, becoming the biggest-ever home purchase in Palo Alto at the time.
