This particular Eichler model, known as the Double-A, was designed by renowned midcentury-modern architect A. Quincy Jones, and is the most popular and iconic of all Eichler homes. The residence offers a stunning single-level, open atrium, with five bedrooms and three fully remodeled bathrooms. Other features include polished concrete floors with radiant heating, space-saving mahogany pocket doors, new paneling, and gallery-style baseboards throughout."

An original brick fireplace anchors the living room, while extensive glazing brings in natural light.
The kitchen is fitted with Statuario marble countertops, a central waterfall island, and new stainless-steel appliances. The dining area is located right around the corner.
The 225-square-foot primary suite features a wall of sliding-glass doors that open to the lush backyard.
