Remarks

A just-completed renovation has transformed this original Joseph Eichler gem while thoughtfully preserving its architectural integrity. Located in the sought-after Triple El neighborhood in Green Gables, Palo Alto, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with family room showcases classic Eichler design elements such as beamed and paneled ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass. The kitchen opens onto the living and dining room, and looks out onto the sunny backyard. Updates include new white engineered oak floors throughout, beautifully refreshed bathrooms. Enhancing the homes energy efficiency are newly installed mini-split HVAC systems with individual room controls, new dual pane windows and foam roof. Refreshed landscaping and a sparkling pool complete the setting. With top-rated Palo Alto schools, including Duveneck, Greene and Paly, (buyer to verify) and a prime location just minutes from parks and shops, this home is ready for a new chapter in one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods.
