Two great Eichler’s on today’s tour! More properties are coming to market and from what I can tell the theme remains… if it is a well-priced property in a desirable neighborhood it will move fast!

Palo Alto 231 – Green Acres

Listing Agent / Broker: Deleon Team, Deleon Realty

Address: 645 Maybell Ave A

Bedrooms: 3 – Bathrooms: 2 Full

Sqft: 1182

Lot Sqft: 6786

Price: $2,988,000

Listing Agent remarks: Bright and inviting in Green Acres.

My takeaways: I am always a little skeptical of the houses that share a driveway and are positioned directly behind another house, but this one WOW! It felt so private, it had a serenity about it (don’t let the filtered pictures fool you), just an easy place to be. The house itself has been thoughtfully updated so other than changing paint color to your palette this house is ready for its next family!

Palo Alto 232 – Barron Park

Listing Agent / Broker: Zach Trailer, Compass  

Address: 3618 Laguna Ave

Bedrooms: 6 – Bathrooms: 5 Full, 1 Half

Sqft: 3719

Lot Sqft: 11253

Price: $5,988,000

Listing Agent remarks: High-end new construction. Beautiful Creekside setting on the edge of Bol Park

My takeaways: This house reminded me of those old houses where you open a door and the house further expands. I found the layout here to be exceptional, rooms just the right size and positioned well, a beautiful backyard, although you do look into a public park through the trees and they can look back! The other element I wasn’t particularly keen on is there is a matching house right next door, right down to the number styling for the address on the house… same developer.

Listing Agent / Broker: Carol Borison, Compass

Address: 715 Matadero

Bedrooms: 4 – Bathrooms: 3 Full

Sqft: 2408

Lot Sqft: 7830

Price: $3,998,000

Listing Agent remarks: Exceptional home with soaring ceilings! 

My takeaways: In the 90s this house was built as the owner’s dream home, by today’s standards it feels a bit choppy, and as you can imagine needs some updating. That said it is on a beautiful piece of property in Barron Park which I’ve said before is becoming a favorite place to discover more about.

Listing Agent / Broker: Deleon Team, Deleon Realty 

Address: 4132 Thain Way (Condo)

Bedrooms: 2 – Bathrooms: 2 Full

Sqft: 1445

Lot Sqft: N/A

Price: $1,288,000

HOA: $1,024 p/m

Listing Agent remarks: Top-floor condo in barron park

My takeaways: If you read my tour wrap-ups you know I struggle seeing condos and townhomes as the signs are never great in pointing to the actual unit and parking is not obvious, so I didn’t see this particular unit BUT I have seen units in this property before. The last condo I saw here I met a couple how raised their daughter in their condo and had been there for 30 yrs, they absolutely loved it. A great location and within the Palo Alto School District making it a popular complex for those trying to establish a Palo Alto address to be in this school district.

Palo Alto 233 – South Palo Alto

Listing Agent / Broker: Timothy Foy, Midtown Realty

Address: 176 Ferne Ct

Bedrooms: 3 – Bathrooms: 2 Full

Sqft: 1507

Lot Sqft: 7755

Price: $3,295,000

Listing Agent remarks: Designed, built and lived in by Eichler’s Greenmeadow Architect! Stunning!

My takeaways: This was the home of A. Quincy Jones who was tapped by Eichler to help all the business coming his way. You have a wonderful windy drive through the neighborhood (when did straight streets become the go-to for neighborhoods!) to get to this great cul-de-sac location. The property is really well maintained and the outdoor space wraps around the house. Great for a couple or young family as the second bathroom is small and not particularly private. It is one-of-a-kind.

Listing Agent / Broker: The Dreyfus Group, Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty

Address: 3407 Janice Way

Bedrooms: 4 – Bathrooms: 2 Full

Sqft: 1878

Lot Sqft: 10640

Price: $3,198,000

Listing Agent remarks: Beautifully maintained Eichler on a spacious lot. Move-in ready.

My takeaways: The most amazing, moody, vibey, retro in the best way living room. I was completely in awe of the main living area. I wouldn’t change a thing in this house. A wonderful piece of property with mature landscaping. The entire property is really well done.

Palo Alto 234 – Midtown

Listing Agent / Broker: Joseph Martignetti, Ventana Property Services Inc.

Address: 2590 Webster St

Bedrooms: 4 – Bathrooms: 2 Full

Sqft: 1962

Lot Sqft: 7150

Price: $3,500,000

Listing Agent remarks: N/A

My takeaways: This is a tough one. A corner lot a win, but the cross street is Middlefield which is a main thoroughfare. It is also in need of quite a bit of work. That said, a decent sized lot that someone could do a lot with.

Palo Alto 235 – Ventura

Listing Agent / Broker: Erika Ameri, Compass

Address: 360 Fernando Ave

Bedrooms: 2 – Bathrooms: 1 Full, 1 Half

Sqft: 903

Lot Sqft: 3045

Price: $1,920,000

Listing Agent remarks: 

My takeaways: Unfortunately, I did not make it to this one.

Palo Alto 236 – College

Listing Agent / Broker: Judy Citron, Compass

Address: 1632 Mariposa Ave

Bedrooms: 4 – Bathrooms: 2 Full, 1 Half

Sqft: 2359

Lot Sqft: 6000

Price: $4,398,000

Listing Agent remarks: Diamond, extensive remodel in 2014, south facing bright and open, beautiful.

My takeaways: So well done. Perfect. My favorite room is this wonderful deep blue sitting room/library off the very bright and airy kitchen. Truly, nothing to be done here, unless you have a favorite color for a particular wall!

Palo Alto 238 – Green Gables

Listing Agent / Broker: Jean-Luc Laminette, Compass

Address: 527 Rhodes Dr

Bedrooms: 3 – Bathrooms: 2 Full

Sqft: 1387

Lot Sqft: 5712

Price: $3,198,000

Listing Agent remarks: Delightful Green Gables single level home.

My takeaways Yes, livable or rentable while you figure out what your dream home will be. The kitchen here is tight, the bathrooms are in need of an update but this property sits in a wonderful neighborhood on what feels like an expansive corner lot for 5712 sq ft.

Palo Alto 239 – Crescent Park

Listing Agent / Broker: Xin Jiang, Compass

Address: 1417 Pitman Ave

Bedrooms: 5 – Bathrooms: 3 Full

Sqft: 3089

Lot Sqft: 8898

Price: $5,498,000

Listing Agent remarks: Unbeatable location in Crescent Park.

My takeaways: I’ll take the listing agent’s comment to this property, all about the location aka it needs work. The layout is choppy and it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. There are bedrooms at one side of the house and the other, the kitchen is really closed off and for a large house the hallways and corners feel tight. Great lot size though so dream away about what could be!

Palo Alto 240 – Community Center

Listing Agent / Broker: Sherry Bucolo, Compass

Address: 840 Lincoln Ave

Bedrooms: 6 – Bathrooms: 6 Full, 1 Half

Sqft: 8386

Lot Sqft: 20000

Price: $17,500,000

Listing Agent remarks: N/A

My takeaways: Well for the price, you get one helluva a piece of property sitting in the middle of Palo Alto! As you can imagine this property is well appointed, it is open, airy, has a bit of a Southern feel to it, it isn’t the typical boxy house. A wonderful wide staircase. The only area that made my head tilt in curiosity was the laundry room that was right off the Primary closet, yes a door can close it off, but made the wonderful Primary feel not as private, but very utilitarian which I do have an appreciation for.

Palo Alto 242 – Downtown Palo Alto

Listing Agent / Broker: Michelle Taser, Compass 

Address: 101 Alma ST Unit # 207 (Condo)

Bedrooms: 3 – Bathrooms: 2 Full, 1 Half

Sqft: 1855

Lot: N/A

Price:$1,998,000

HOA: $1650 p/m

Listing Agent remarks: Exquisitely remodeled 3/2 1/2 condo blending elegance with modern design

My takeaways: I missed seeing this but this complex is pretty amazing, I’ve covered this complex before. A remarkable shared outdoor area with pool, cabanas, sun chairs, BBQs and dining tables. There is a front desk that has a level of concierge service, and is high-touch for a condo complex. All of this accounts for the high HOA fee. And, an amazing location with close proximity to Stanford and walkable to downtown Palo Alto.

Listing Agent / Broker: Nadr Essabhoy, Compass

Address: 237 High St (Condo)

Bedrooms: 3 – Bathrooms: 2 Full

Lot: N/A

Price: $1,798,000

HOA: $1130 p/m

Listing Agent remarks: Updated, two level condo in back of complex with outdoor spaces

My takeaways: I did not make it to this one. But from the pictures, it definitely offers a statement kitchen!
