E-Trade Founder Lists Eichler in Palo Alto for $2.2M

Published: August 22, 2015 | By: American Luxury Staff

E-Trade founder Bill Porter’s Palo Alto home is on the market! The classic Mid-Century Modern is part of the Joseph Eichler-developed subdivision in the Greenmeadow Community neighborhood and is listed for $2.2 million.

The Greenmeadow area is part of the National Register of Historic Places and is also conveniently located near schools, a community pool, park, and shopping.

Porter’s home has been updated with simple, modern touches and a neutral color palette. Plenty of natural light filters in to the open, airy living areas. The open floor plan features tile floors, walls of glass, free-flowing indoor-outdoor space, and exposed beam ceilings.

A spacious kitchen boasts granite countertops and opens seamlessly into the dining and living areas. The cozy deck steals the show, though, with a centuries-old valley oak tree and a quiet spot for an afternoon cocktail.
