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.

Published by

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.

What makes this four-bedroom, two-bath home unique is its additional office space, as well as a generous floor plan that includes 2,322-square-feet of living space, per the tax records. 

A partition wall separates the spacious family room from the open great room.
