Plans

A house in Greenmeadow, a Joseph Eichler development in Palo Alto.

This Double-A has striking curb appeal. It also has the original two-car garage.

The expanded home reflects an evolution of Chase’s design tastes, but maintains the courtyard’s function as a communal gathering space.

Another drawing shows the Chase Residence with the second-story addition, which doubled the height of the interior courtyard and added a game room, bedroom, bathroom, and office. “Though the renovation changed the architecture dramatically, remarkably little physical alteration seems to have taken place when you compare plans,” writes Heymann. “There isn’t a lot of floor space added, and the perimeter of the old house and roof remains intact.”

A drawing by book author, professor, and architect David Heymann depicts the home and its central courtyard.

The apartment comes with access to Turtle Bay Gardens, a private park only accessible to the surrounding 20 townhomes.

The primary bathroom features both a Juliet balcony and a steam sauna.

The third-floor bedrooms each feature wood-burning fireplaces.

Split across five floors, you can ascend the property either via elevator or stairs.
