1643 Edmonton Ave — $1,250,000.

Mark's Preview Notes:  The benefits of no rear neighbors and large lot make this a spacious Eichler for sure.  It seems the atrium was enclosed and a hall bathroom was added at the front of the house, which is why this is now a 3 bathroom.  The additional living space comes from a master extension off the back.

3327 Benton St — $498,500.  Listed 3/14/09 (Isaac Malek of Intero Real Estate Services represents the Seller) SOLD $485k, 7/17/2009 – 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms– 1536sf living space on a 1963sf lot– Townhouse with 5 Skylites, Remodeled Kitchen/Baths. Mark's Preview Notes: I have always liked the Benton / Pomeroy townhomes.  This unit has an updated kitchen with granite tiles, but the older bathrooms could also use an update.  The dual patios (front and back) on these units and the design where no neighbors are looking into your space have always made these Eichler townhomes a comfortable place to call home.

796 Raimundo Way — $1,545,000.  Listed 3/13/09 (Lynne Mercer of Coldwell Banker-PA Downtown represents the Seller)  Sold for $1,500,000,  COE 6/12/2009 – 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms– 2742sf living space on a 14976sf lot– Custom atrium mode, 2 fireplaces, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths in one wing plus guest or au pair suite off family room. Large bonus room with separate entry. Available to qualified Stanford faculty/staff only. Mark's Preview Notes: This is my first review for a Stanford Eicher.  I have to admit that my expectations were somewhat high — after all this is Standord — but this particular home didn’t deliver on my expectations.  All the Eichler appointments are found here — globe lights, wood paneling, tongue and groove ceiling, and lovely grounds.  This home has updated granite counters and the blue slate in the atrium, also carried into the fireplace, is a very nice touch.  Stanford Eichlers are only available to faculty and staff, and unless I’m mistaken, each property is still on leased land of Stanford University.
