An Updated Orange County Eichler Hits the Market at $1M

With a welcoming central atrium, this warm and inviting Orange County Eichler radiates the feeling of entering a hidden gem.

Published by

During the 1950s and 60s, prolific developer Joseph Eichler built over 11,000 architect-designed midcentury-modern homes in California. In fact, he is practically synonymous with the style of the era. His homes call to mind a period of more gracious living with the introduction of modern conveniences and an indoor/outdoor lifestyle—and this classic atrium-style residence in Orange County, California, now being offered for $1,035,000, is no exception. 

A flat roofline and solid post-and-beam construction create the clean lines of this classic midcentury profile.

Built in 1960, the property offers all the classic midcentury features that Eichlers are known for: post-and-beam construction, expansive glazing, open-plan living space, and the aforementioned central atrium. 

Additionally, the 1,729-square-foot abode boasts four bedrooms, two baths, and an updated kitchen. Scroll ahead for a look inside. 

The entrance leads to a spacious central atrium—a popular feature of many Eichler homes.
