| We built 11 Bahl Patio Homes in this tract. (see location)
This development won
a Pacific Coast Builder's Conference GOLD NUGGET award and an American
Institute of Architect national award. Here is a photo
of the front of the model home which was used in the judging of the Gold
Nugget. There are 3 variations of the floor plans. The
variations include roof line changes, fireplace locations, window size
and locations. Here is one of the floorplan.
This project was also featured in the
1974 October Issues of House & Home.
When we purchased this property in 1972, horses were grazing on the
property. There was an original farm house on the property.
Behind the house was a large trellis covered in vines. We kept the
trellis and it is located in the backyard of 2142 Garden Terrace.
Have you ever wonder why our circle street has two name?
Originally both streets (Woodleaf Way & Garden Terrace) were planned to
connect to Sleeper Avenue in a horse shoe design. When Merek built
the houses on the front side of the circle, he petitioned the City of
Mountain View to allow him to have 1 street connecting to sleeper
instead of two. This way he was able to put an extra lot into his
subdivision.
On this subdivision, we always get asked what houses did we actual
build. We built 11 patio homes in 1974, and one custom house in
1992. We sold 11 lots to Juls Duk and he built his house in 1976.
We have marked out this tract map
showing who built which lots. Merek built out the remaining houses
on the circle.
Here is a
Garden Terrace Patio House that we Listed and Sold. |
