About This Home
As of October 2019This unique Atrium Eichler home located in the coveted Community Center neighborhood offers incredible flexibility with seven bedrooms (total) including an attached, upper level, 1-bedroom unit with a private entrance.

Light pours in from the center of the home to fill the space below. It is a must-see. This home draws into top public schools including Duveneck Elementary School, Greene Middle School, and Palo Alto High School. Centrally located within a few blocks of Rinconada Park, the Palo Alto Art Center, the Palo Alto Childrens Theater, Rinconada Pool and much more!
