I Lived in an Eichler as a teenager. I don't understand why anyone would find it necessary to change a thing. Trying to guess "what Eichler would do now" seems to be irrelevant anyway. Eichler was a developer, not an architect. Better to pose the question to an architect and have him/ her design something from scratch.

For as much people "love" Eichlers, they sure spend a lot of money un-Eichlerizing them. I guess when you spend a million bucks, you just assume it needs upgrades like granite countertops, additional rooms....it IS Palo Alto for heavens sake.

Eichlers epitomize "elimination of the inessential." Move in, change the toothbrush and shut up.

One of the other Eichlers for sale in Palo Alto is "a four-bedroom, two-bathroom, 1,646-square-foot house." Ahh, the good old days . . .
