Five Eichlers in Palo Alto, Sunnyvale open
their doors for a 'bargain' Saturday May 4

It was a British novelist from long ago who wrote, "To inspire hopeless passion is my destiny," but it seems William Makepeace Thackery could have been writing about Joe Eichler.

All the proof you would need of the writer's prescience will be on display Saturday May 4 at the 'Eichler Inspired Home Tour,' which aims to showcase five Eichler homes in Palo Alto and Sunnyvale.

A bargain among home tours at $8 a ticket, the home improvement-focused event features four Palo Alto Eichlers remodeled by general contractors Keycon, Inc. and one in Sunnyvale presented by the Erdal Swartz Team of realtors. Both are co-sponsors of the tour along with Klopf Architecture. The three companies are donating 100 percent of their ticket proceeds to support Habitat for Humanity.
