About 716 Gailen Avenue
First time on the market in 60 years! Lovingly owned by the same family since 1966, this beautifully renovated single story contemporary home is ready for its next chapter. Situated on an approximately 8,000 sq.ft corner lot in a quiet Palo Alto cul-de-sac, this spacious 2,290 sq. ft., 5-bedroom, 3 bath home was originally designed by Eichler and has been thoughtfully updated over the years. The inviting living room features distinctive high ceilings and a fireplace, while the separate dining room enjoys natural light from a skylight. The beautifully remodeled kitchen opens to an adjoining family room, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Extensive recent improvements include a brand new kitchen, renovated bathrooms, engineered hardwood flooring, dual pane windows, a new roof, and energy efficient mini split heating and cooling systems. Additional features include tile bathroom floors, inside laundry with full size hookups, and an attached two car garage with automatic door opener. Conveniently located near parks, shopping, dining, commute routes, and highly regarded Palo Alto schools (Fair Meadow Elementary, Jan Lathrop Stanford Middle & Gunn High). A rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated home with a wonderful 60-year history in a desirable Palo Alto neighborhood.
