Wonderful Eichler!

This Sunday we've stopped at this open house in Palo Alto:
***Palo Alto *Greer* List Price/Date: $1,195,000 - 4/18. 3 bedroom, 2 bath 1437SF home on an approximate 6000SF lot. One of, if not the finest upgraded Eichler that I've ever seen. Stunning - in all respects, and in all the details. A "Trophy" Eichler. Kenneth DeLeon of Keller Williams represents the Seller.

It was indeed a perfectly upgraded Eichler, and here are some pics I found on the web. The owner was also the designer and he did the best back-in-the-future MCM remodel I've seen around. Kudos!

Googled it a bit and found this Curbed SF Open House Report: Eichler in Palo Alto:
From a friend of Curbed SF who's selling his Palo Alto Eichler:

I'm moving from Palo Alto to New York and selling my Eichler house, for which I was designer and GC for a whole house remodel starting in 2000. Having been a teenage modernist whose favorites were Neutra and Schindler and whose 15 year old mind was altered forever when my family then moved from the east coast into another Palo Alto Eichler, I really understand these houses. So when I was able to purchase the worst Eichler on the block (in Palo Verde), I had a strong vision about remodeling it for the 21st century.

Greenmeadow Eichlers

It seems odd that tomorrow’s house today in 2007 Silicon Valley is a '50s Eichler, but indeed Eichlers are cool modern houses! And they are more modern than many new houses built here these days ...

And my favorite place for Eichlers is Greenmeadow. Well, it's not only my favorite, from this market data it seems there is a lot of interest in these houses, a "pristine-like" (meaning in great need of update, not necessarily pristine) Eichler listed at ~1.2M goes easily for ~1.36-1.5M...

Here's the link to the Sunset story: Open to the outdoors: A 1950s Eichler home gets a seamless update

We've met Mark Marcinik a couple of years ago when we wanted to buy an Eichler in need of remodel, but that Eichler went just too high for our budget:-( And we liked Mark a lot, we actually wanted to contact him for our modern Eichler-like remodel too!

Now regarding this story, I'm wondering how much was that remodel and how long did it take, no one is mentioning these mundane details ...

QT or Eichler, this is the question...

Our bid quest is still inconclusive, we've got a better bid for the metal roof but no good electrical bid and no drywall bid at all ...

So we are reconsidering our modern remodel again:-( and balancing between remodelling and selling this house and buying an Eichler:-)
