A Tastefully Expanded Eichler in the Bay Area Asks $1.2M
Designed by the renowned architectural team of A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons and built by prolific developer Joseph Eichler in 1961, this midcentury gem celebrates the era in which it was built. The 2,177-square-foot residence, which has been mindfully expanded, features five bedrooms—including two master suites—and three baths.
The classic Eichler facade has recently been painted and features a yellow door for a fun pop of color.
All of the iconic developer's signature features are present and accounted for: an open-air atrium, multiple skylights, period lighting, a spacious great room with a tongue-and-groove ceiling, and floor-to-ceiling glazing to bring a sense of the outdoors in. The home was also constructed with a large, attached, single-car garage with extra room for storage—plus a carport.
5520 Greenridge Road is located in Northern California’s East Bay, in Castro Valley's Greenridge Eichler community. Scroll ahead for a look inside.
The home opens to the central atrium—perfectly designed for enjoying indoor/outdoor living.
