A Bright and Breezy Eichler Hits the Market at $1.45M in California
Originally designed in 1971 by Claude Oakland—one of the most prolific of Joseph Eichler’s architects—this 2,222-square-foot property was one of the last Eichler homes to have been built. With four bedrooms and two baths, the gorgeous abode also boasts all the beloved midcentury features that these coveted houses are known for—a central open-sky atrium, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and a soaring post-and-beam ceiling.
Now, this beautifully restored dwelling is being listed for the first time since 1973 at $1,450,000. Scroll ahead for a peek inside.
Eichlers are virtually synonymous with enjoying a classic California-style indoor/outdoor lifestyle, and this revamped home is no exception.
The original owner collected Jade plants which are currently spread out throughout the property. This giant one sits adjacent to the bright red front door.
Upon entering the home, you will step into the spacious and light-filled central atrium.
The atrium filters natural light into the rest of the abode.
The expansive open-plan living area is also bright and airy.
There is garden access via glass sliding doors from almost every room.
The post-and-beam ceiling is highlighted with pendant globe lights.

The master bedroom also features sliding doors out to the patio.
All of the bedrooms have a spacious, yet midcentury feel.
In total, there are four bedrooms in the home.
