Love Eichler and Palo Alto. Gorgeous!!

[@talisteam]

Thank you! Same here!

[@christinecamley]

@@talisteam YW!! Thanks for the kind response! Have a wonderful day!!

[@lilithhollow]

I think the remodeling makes the house feel more open, expensive and inviting. I like it a lot!

[@talisteam]

We like the open plan too. It is perfect for having guests and makes the public areas feel larger.

[@LovelyBendHomes]

Love Eichler & midcentury Modern homes 😍

[@talisteam]

We are lucky here - Joseph Eichler build 2500 homes around the Bay Area. There was a group of not as well known developers building in a similar style.

[@christinecamley]

They are spectacular homes!

[@lus3003]

Great walkthrough. I love the wide angles from all perspectives.

[@talisteam]

Glad you enjoyed my video!

[@tiera9933]

i've never seen a garage open that way. this house is gorgeous and the staging is ace.

[@talisteam]

Sliding garage doors was the original Eichler design, same with sliding door in kitchen cabinets. I guess it was the most cost effective at the time.

[@pamelakellum1870]

I think this is a great place! Beautiful upgrades and staging!❤️

[@talisteam]

Thank you! It was a big project!

[@ArrogantBaSStard]

Good god the Eichler interior character was destroyed with the remodel and upgrades. What a shame.

That what the owners wanted. Come and save it!!!

Thank you.. I love Palo Alto❤❤❤

[@talisteam]

Me too! Moved here in 1991 for the schools and got stuck!

[@OneNationSoul]

I loved the red line outside, nice house!

[@talisteam]

This beam creates a nice accent on the front. I love this home floor plan too!

[@geojorge1369]

The house would be more desirable if the design updates were more reflective of mid century modern era!

[@talisteam]

It seems that modern bits with a background of mid-century modern sell the best in the current market. Many buyers are not excited about the original Eichler mahogany panels, they make rooms appear darker. Anyway, this home sold with multiple offers above the asking price.

[@jenmaclean3774]

House ruined

[@MisterMikeTexas]

@@jenmaclean3774 Ruined how? Looks like most of the updates were in keeping with the home's modern theme, and in fact may have intensified it. Furthermore, convenience upgrades are necessary throughout the life of any home, so it will remain useful, and will continue to attract buyers when put on the market.

[@blueeyedwolf2205]

@@jenmaclean3774 I agree. The updates are hideous.

[@bethwiegand2957]

Agreed!

[@ajellmann]

That change in the kitchen ruined the marvelous design. Can't you see that?

[@talisteam]

Most prefer open floor pan these days. I guess market speaks...

[@tomasdiaz4892]

I prefer and independent kitchen or semi- independent.

[@Ericsond]

I prefer an open kitchen, but not if I had an Eichler. I agree, this isn't really an Eichler anymore.

[@jugghead46]

Beautiful home. 🏡

[@talisteam]

Thank you 👍

[@Cloudburst2000]

A bit too 2000s modern and not much MCM left. It would get back much of the MCM charm if someone went in and stripped all the paint of the wooden ceilings and beams.

[@talisteam]

You would have to buy it and apply your time machine 😀 People still want modern appliances. Few people go beyond mid-century modern mailboxes - modboxusa.com/collections/all

[@Texastimbo]

Beautiful home and to think these cost so little when they were built. I love the updates!

[@talisteam]

Thank you for your comments! These days at least 2/3 of the cost of a home is in the land. Bay Area, especially Peninsula cities, have no space for new construction, no space to grow.

[@katiecannon8186]

Yikes! The kitchen, interior doors & flooring could have been period appropriate while also being updated. Sad.

[@talisteam]

I understand. But cost and time are real considerations when preparing home for sale... Consider it a clean canvas for the new owners.

[@jackiecook4441]

They painted the beautiful wood ceiling .😫

[@talisteam]

It was done long time ago, before I had any input...

[@AT1328]

Outside looks great. Inside all white? Huh?? Kitchen remodel, yipes??.

[@talisteam]

Have you tried to use the original kitchen cabinets with sliding doors? Certain things need upgrades...

[@AT1328]

@@talisteam just needs refurbushing on the doors or replacement. Island counter top does not fit the era. That killed it for me, and it's part of the main room against all white back ground??? WoW???

[@REXKUEHNER]

THESE EICHLERS WERE A MUCH LATER UPSCALED VERSIONS . THE EARLY ONES BUILT WERE NOWHERE NEAR THIS LEVEL. I DID MANY WITH WINDOW FILM OVER THE YEARS SO I HAVE SEEN MANY VERSIONS OF EICHLERS IN MANY DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES.

[@talisteam]

Thank you! This is one of the best floor plans in the neighborhood too 👍

[@kennixox262]

Lovely spacious layout. A few things catch my eye, very lower shower heads that are typical of that era. Does the house still have the original galvanized plumbing system? If so, a big red flag. One MAJOR worry that I see in a lot of "remodeled" homes are "upgraded" finishes but they ignore what is happening behind the walls which is VASTLY more important than what you can see. That is why I always, always pass on remodeled/flipped homes unless they have documentation and permits for the plumbing, HVAC, electrical and seismic retrofits. The two vertical columns on the kitchen island supporting the main beam is worrisome to me at first glance. Do those supports go all the way to footings?

[@talisteam]

Well, this home was originally built with coper plumbing. Everything depends of who, how and when remodeled the home. You will be better off investigating if you like the home and the location.

[@Meyuhjean]

Who remolded this house 😍

[@talisteam]

Hi Mia, text me your email address and I will send you their contact info.

[@JG-mp5nb]

No mention of the design features that make these homes distinctive? Glue laminated beams, a then new feature that made open span rooms possible. Plywood 4” OC PLYWOOD, then a new and durable alternative to dimensional lumber. Large glass windows, replacing the old small windows. Large block construction to simplify construction for fireplaces, and glass walls on occasion. Large atriums that opened up entries. And many, many other striking features.

[@talisteam]

This home as original as it can be from point of view of construction elements. The beams, decking and framing are all first-growth lumber.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

These are interesting houses for sure. How are they heated and cooled? I didn't see an outside A/C unit like you do on the side of most suburban homes.

[@talisteam]

Originally all Eichler homes had in-floor radiant heating system. As the old heating systems failed, they were replaced by various other systems includingforced air, new radiant and split heating AC systems.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

@@talisteam Interesting. Were window units commonly used in the past by original and early owners for cooling?

[@talisteam]

No, AC was very uncommon in our area. We are on SF Peninsula, between the ocean and the bay. We get a few days a year with high temperatures and most of us just endure. I am aware of only one home that was originally build with "forced air radiant" hating system that would allow air conditioning installation. My understanding is that Eichler experimented with that design in South CA and built just one here in the Bay Area.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

@@talisteam Southern California needs it! The "Atomic Age" style homes here in Texas have central HVAC from what I've seen in pictures. Lowered ceilings are in the hallways for the ductwork.

[@talisteam]

We are in Northern CA - different climate, especially on the coast and on the Peninsula. East Bay would be 5-10F hotter on a given summer day. Redwood City has an arch in downtown saying "Weather best by government test".

[@Lil_Angry_Bitch]

The price of this house is easily in the millions

[@talisteam]

You are right, welcome to the Bay Area 😲🤐😎 This home sold close to the median sale price for homes in Palo Alto.

[@deniseleaps]

Beautiful home. I moved out of the Bay because the prices for a home are ridiculously high. No one saw this craziness coming. My grandma bought her home in Mountain View for $60,000 in the 70’s. Those were the days when you could afford things and live comfortably. Sadly, the Bay is overcrowded and the original residents have moved out. I bought my home an hour away from the Bay for $338,000. Although I miss the Bay. I don’t miss the high cost of living.

[@talisteam]

So many long-term residents are moving out, it is heartbreaking! We were thinking about moving out of the Bay Area ourselves but our kids are here. And our business...

[@dasikakn]

This is not vibing an Eichler to me sadly. That master bedroom seemed really strange having to walk through part of the bathroom to get to it. The neighborhood and schools will sell this house. Green meadow part of Palo Alto is ah-mazing for families.

[@talisteam]

This floor plan is very common for Eichlers including the Greenmeadow Eichlers - many homes have master bedroom with closets/sink area on the way into the bedroom.

[@clair8776]

You had me right up until the master bedroom only having a stall shower. Need a tub.

[@talisteam]

There is space to install a tub - just need a bit of work...

[@donnamahan3760]

Stage with burrows in bedrooms or chest . Where would you store clothes ?

[@talisteam]

Eichler homes have at least twice more closet space than your traditional ranch home of the same era. I live in a similar home and we have dresser-like closet organizers built into the closet. Maybe I am not buying enough closing 🤔

[@trevorcrist5456]

What model is this? Who is the architect?

[@talisteam]

It is an Eichler home.

[@trevorcrist5456]

Thanks, I know. I am wondering what architect designed it. Jones & Emmons? Claude & Oakland?

[@HomeAtLast501]

The scale and proportions of those rooms is terrible. The space is so small they have to put unapholstered chairs in front of the fireplace because upholstered chairs would overwhelm the room and space. How long are you going to sit in those uncomfortable wood frame chairs? 10-15 minutes? You aren't going to curl up for 2-3 hours in front of the fireplace. The bedrooms have tiny windows you can't look out of, and you can't get cross-breezes at night. That family room area has a wall in front of the window. I'm not getting why everyone is so smitten with these homes.

[@talisteam]

You just have to be there to appreciate the architecture. Anyway, this home is not for everyone 🤪
