Remarks

Property is available only for qualified Stanford faculty and staff. This authentic Joseph Eichler home has many signature motifs intact including beamed and paneled ceilings, Philippine mahogany walls, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls. The mid-century masterpiece, available only to approved Stanford faculty and staff, is located on a generous 0.4-acre lot with beautiful gardens and a pool. The entire design emphasizes the Eichler indoor/outdoor living principle beginning with an atrium with sliding glass doors to the living room, dining room, and bedroom wing. The kitchen is at the center of the design, there is a separate family room, and library storage in the hallway. The primary suite has a private office with custom cabinetry, amazing wardrobe storage, and updated en suite bath. Two additional bedrooms are served by an updated bath with an outside entrance for use from the pool. Just down the street is Stanford Campus Recreation Association with a 25-meter pool and 7 tennis courts, and the famous "Dish" trails are approximately half a mile away.
