Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from March 29, 2024
Welcome to this one-of-a-kind contemporary home providing California living at its finest. Originally built by Eichler architect, Herman Weiss for himself and his wife, with inspiration from the famed Edward Larrabee Barnes' Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. Walls of windows, natural shingle siding, skylights, open beam ceilings & radiant heating are all attributes that equate to this Mid-Century Modern architecture and design. The expansive, open layout is filled with natural light, and offers access to the rear & side yards from several sliding glass doors, as well as to the maintenance-free Trex decks off the dining room, backyard, front den, and charming front courtyard. The quiet front courtyard is flanked with new, solid, locking gates for ultimate privacy & security. Original mid-century modern light fixtures adorn the home as the architect originally intended. The front bedroom has an additional loft space for study or peaceful reflection. Additionally, the front two bedrooms, each with their own outside access doors, are adjoined by a hallway & shared bathroom, which can be closed off and completely separate from the main house. This could be the ideal built-in ADU for extra income, or as a private retreat for guests. Don't miss your chance to live in this iconic home!

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf you have any choice in the matter, I strongly advise you not to send your teenager to Palo Alto high school. The level of toxic stress at this school, exacerbated by miserable teachers, and under- educated administrators, is a recipe for distress amongst the students. The students grade-shame each other. My daughter was actually told by her fellow classmate that she was at risk of not graduating with a 3.7 GPA. And the sad part is that the child actually believed that. One notably unhappy teacher has a “dunce corner” where she humiliates students by having them stand in the corner if they’ve asked a question that the teacher feels is “stupid.” Another teacher keeps her room lights off and has students play videos at different volumes at different speeds - many without headsets - in the classroom. When some students cannot learn in this environment, they are penalized and blamed for not paying attention. When the administration is asked to step in, not only does stonewalling occur, but threats to the family are made. Our realtor told us that as many families leave Palo Alto for the schools as move into Palo Alto for the schools. This makes sense to me now that we have experienced that firsthand. There is enough stress placed on students without the unnecessary chaos of this dangerous school. We could not get out fast enough.Parent Review1mo ago - Frank S. Greene Jr. Middle

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere were nice experiences with some teachers and these teachers get burned out. But overall, not a good education if you need help from teachers and you end up in real trouble for high school. It's very easy to fall behind in a few weeks and you will not catch up all year.Parent Review5y ago - Check out schools near 956 N California Ave.
