Take a look at this wonderful architectural masterpiece for sale in Thousand Oaks. 4 Br 1 1/2 Ba, $649,000. in the EICHLER tract. I absolutely love these homes, and fans of the great Joseph Eichler do as well, often creating a buying frenzy when they come on the market. Eichler and his design firm built a tract of these homes in Thousand Oaks featuring several different designs. They originally sold for some $10,000.Among the pantheon of modern architects, Joseph Eichler was quite prolific in Southern California. Unlike Paul Williams or Richard Neutra, Eichler did his work for the masses, while retaining the same school of design and aesthetics of the high end commission guys.Jerry Ditto and Lanning Stern's book on him states it well
Joseph Eichler changed the face of American architecture by helping to create the ultimate affordable family home.
Eichler's work notably features atriums, which make the feel of the home much bigger and provide for a spectacular entrance. Beyond that unassuming front door is the atrium entry:
The atrium is accessible from all parts of the home and provides a sense of bringing the outdoors in. Eichler's sense of light and flow means high ceilings, exposed beams and clerestory windows so there's light all around you. This particular home has been restored with a sensibility to Eichler's design. Some of these homes were remodeled and lost the intent of the design. Not this one. Bravo to you folks, nicely done.
Call or text me to arrange to view this wonderful home.
post script: This home sold in eight days with multiple offers.
ReplyDeleteIt is a common misconception that my grandfather, Joseph Eichler, was an architect. He was a developer. Among the architects he commission to create designs for his homes were Quincy Jones, Robert Anshen and Claude Oakland.
