Class Eichler Design
http://www.tourfactory.com/s459277/r_www.blinkx.com Enjoy the classic indoor/outdoor living and clean-lined architecture that made Eichler designs enduringly popular in the mid-century. Representing the architects principles of balancing walls and glass, the floor plan revolves around the seamless connection to the outdoors with expanses of floor-to-ceiling view windows. The timeless design begins with a serene front courtyard shaded by a wisteria-draped pergola that becomes alive with color and fragrance in the spring. Inside, the homes public rooms flow easily from one to the other all positioned beneath a cathedral beamed and paneled ceiling. Further enhancing the openness, solid doors are used only for privacy, whereas exterior doors are either sliding glass or designed with inset glass panels and a split Dutch style that adds further natural light and fresh air. A designer-selected color palette and crisp white woodwork add a finishing touch of sophisticated elegance. The homes 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are thoughtfully arranged in their own wing offering flexibility for family members, guests, or office needs. Outside, the lush gardens are ready to be restored to their natural beauty reminiscent of the English countryside. A bounty of fruit trees, including apple, peach, and fig, plus plenty of room for vegetable and herb gardens provide ample opportunity for a self-sufficient harvest. Completing the appeal of this classic property is its ideal location in Palo Alto just moments to shopping and dining in Midtown, numerous community amenities, and access to excellent schools.
