An Updated Eichler With an Indoor-Outdoor Master Bath Seeks $1.15M

Experience indoor-outdoor living to the fullest in this midcentury classic.

Located in the Fairhills Eichler tract in Orange, California, this 1964 Model OC584 was designed by architect Claude Oakland. The Eichlers in Fairhills were built using six different floor plans designed by Claude Oakland and Jones & Emmons, and only a few of this model were built. 

Updated throughout, one of the highlights of this unique four-bedroom, two-bath home is the expanded master bathroom which features a freestanding soaking tub, as well as sliding glass doors that open up the area to the outdoors. Naturally, the open-plan living spaces have walls of windows which wrap around the terrarium-like central atrium, and the beautifully updated kitchen boasts a bright, contemporary feel.

The home has been professionally landscaped with native drought-resistant plants.
