Eichler California Modern

“Bringing the outdoors in”, one of the founding concepts of Architect Joseph Eichler, and it is front and center in this home built by his company in 1965.  The home has been thoughtfully maintained and updated by the current owners who purchased it from the original owners over 20 years ago. 

Floor to ceiling windows bring in light and the mesmerizing, atmospheric views of Glen Canyon. Decks off the main and second levels invite the user to step out and experience the outdoors in true Eichler style. 

The entry atrium with clerestory windows, open  staircase and tile floor  is as modern today as it was 60 years ago. Leading up to the  main living level with Kitchen, Living and Dining areas all opening onto the deck and expansive views of Glen Canyon. The  original Eichler CMU block fireplace centers the living room and invites conversation and hygge. New hardwood floors compliment the open beam and original tongue and groove ceilings. Radiant heat is under the floors on both living levels.  Off the kitchen is a flexible space for bedroom, den or home office and  a half bath. 

Although this home has maintained its original Eichler features it has been updated for modern living.  The kitchen has been opened up to the living area inviting more interaction and entertaining options.  The cabinetry, in the style of the original, is as functional as it is handsome.  Penny tile backsplashes add a whimsy and slight 60’s vibe to the updated quartz countertops and island.  There is a pantry off the kitchen for additional storage.

The second level includes a Primary en-suite and  2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. In the primary suite bathroom a soaking tub, double vanity and stone floor shower add to the retreat feel of the space.  A secret courtyard just off the primary suite is a hidden sanctuary for morning yoga or a coffee break. Behind custom made shoji screens are closets with built in cabinetry. 

Like the primary suite, the other bedrooms on this level open to outdoor decks and a peaceful, dappled view through pine branches.  There is a full laundry center complete with sink and storage, cleverly hidden behind a custom door in the hallway. 

The garden (third) level of the home is a large, clean, open space with many possibilities.  Preliminary  architect plans for expansion and inclusion of this space are available. A series of gardens and courtyards step down the hillside with multiple outdoor living spaces. The award winning gardens are in a contemporary California aesthetic, perfect for the peaceful home that they surround. 

Of the many Eichler features that this home has maintained and updated some are : clerestory and vertical windows, Shoji panel doors for closets and storage, radiant heat floors, floor to ceiling windows and doors, beam and tongue and groove ceilings, masonry fireplace surround and entry garden.    

The home has a peaceful and airy nature due in part to the light and windows and part to the captivating view and gardens that surround it.  A home made for sanctuary from city life. A home built by a visionary for his time and our time.
