A Spacious and Stylish Orange County Eichler With a Pool Seeks $1.25M

Imagine entertaining poolside in this midcentury gem.

Located on a quiet street in the Fairhills tract of Eichler homes in Orange, California, this stylishly renovated 1964 model offers just shy of 2,400 square feet of living space—a bit more room than your average Eichler home. The Fairhills Eichlers were built using six different floor plans designed by Claude Oakland and Jones & Emmons, and the neighborhood features underground utilities to preserve the homes' clean midcentury lines.
