Live Large in This Extra-Spacious Eichler That's Asking $1.38M
With 2,322-square-feet of living space, this is one of the largest original Eichler homes that still exists.
Although real estate developer Joseph Eichler—whose name is practically synonymous with midcentury modern design—developed more than 11,000 properties in California between 1949 to 1966, this "gallery model" that has just hit the market at $1,375,000 is quite different than the rest.
A corridor leads from the entrance to the open-plan living space. Note the original aggregate concrete flooring.
