741 Esplanada Way

Tucked away on a cul de sac, adjacent to a park, this home is close to Tressider Hall, SCRA and the academic areas of campus, while still being private enough for walls of glass on both the front and rear. Built by Eichler in 1958, this home retains many of the original details prized by Eichler fans, including the radiant floor heating. The public space is divided by a partition wall that allows light to fill the space from both sides of the house. The front side has open the kitchen with period cabinetry and the original fold out breakfast table. This area is spacious enough for an eating and den type area. The back side facing the yard and park has a larger fireplace and space for a formal dining and living areas. In classic Eichler fashion, the 4 bedrooms are grouped together with laundry in the hallway next to the hall bath, which has an exterior door. Period fixtures, finishes and lighting keep the retro vibe going - "unspoiled" says one Eichler fan. An attached two car garage holds the heating boiler and a work area with cabinets and a bench top. For many years it served as an artist studio, so don't mind the paint splotches on the floor. Please note: This home is located on the Stanford University campus, and is only available to eligible faculty.
