Property Description
Located on a secluded, tucked-away circle, this 3-bedroom Eichler blends timeless Mid-Century Modern design on a large 9,450 plus SF lot. Signature Eichler details include vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, an open floor plan filled with natural light, and a dramatic living room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a fireplace. A generous patio provides a great setting for relaxing and entertaining. Radiant-heated floors offer year-round comfort, while fresh interior and exterior paint and new light fixtures add a modern touch. The spacious lot may offer potential to expand the existing home or build new, plus an ADU and/or JDU, subject to City requirements and approvals; buyer to independently verify. Ideally located near parks, the Palo Alto YMCA, Midtown cafes, shopping and restaurants, with access to commute routes and Silicon Valley tech campuses. Sought-after schools include Palo Verde Elementary, Ohlone Elementary (choice school), JLS Middle, and Palo Alto High.
