MLS#: 81236863First time on the market in 40+ yrs. 3 bdr, 2 ba. Kitchen and bathrooms updated in 2004. Bonus room off the garage is perfect for a tv room, exercise rm or home office space. Backyard swimming pool and covered patio enhance outdoor entertaining. Garage is finished w/ panneling and vinyl flooring and versatile for 2 cars parked inside or use as a big game room. Laundry room in garage.
They don’t build them like they used to! No wonder Sothebys International is representing this primo property. This house must have been masterly staged, or maybe it’s sitting on a 14 karat gold foundation.
Not every garage is finished w/ panneling and vinyl flooring! So versatile! Park 2 cars inside or use as a big game room.
Although if 
you want to use the garage as a big game room, wouldn’t you need a place to mount the shotgun racks as well as a ground-based hunting blind? Sheesh, at least you’d want a Tree Stand? Just be sure none of this gets in the way of the laundry room.
Plus the Redfin agent has some food for thought:
Interesting Eichler house but needs significant amount of work. Interior is a bit dark and bedrooms are on the smaller side. There is a bonus room with a fire pitoff the garage – permits should be verified.
Why verify permits? If there’s a fire pitoff the garage, some accidents were meant to happen on purpose.

The house has been staged really well. You can hardly tell that old people (probably) died in there recently.

This is my big complaint with pools on 5k lots. You wind up with virtually NO backyard beyond the pool.
Also, was this staged for Smurfs? Those beds look too small for my toddler!

Even if the backyard is all pool, the front yard makes up for it by being all driveway.

#3 : True! They forgot to rave about space for RVs! It could be going for over a million if they’d mentioned that!

Which building is the Garage?
The one with the windows. The other one is the meth lab.

Gotta love those floor patterns, and in such impeccable condition! This is like a time capsule house for the collector. No wonder it’s represented by Sotheby’s International.

I will never understand the hard-on people have for Eichlers.

The radiant heating in Eichlers run on the anguished cries of priced-out renters, and the yards are fertilized by the tears of those living in 3 story 3 bed 3.5 bath rowhouses built on 436 sq. ft of superfund cleanup site.

#9. i wouldn’t call it a hard-on, since i don’t have the plumbing for that, but i do love me some eichlers. and i dropped a chunk of change to buy one.
open concept, before that was a catch-phrase; floor to ceiling windows; warm tootsies thanks to radiant heating; high ceilings… sigh… i could go on, but if you’re not a member of the cult you’ll never understand.
i have friends with a victorian. i hate it. i don’t get it. yuk.
different strokes and all that.

#11 – different strokes indeed. I do like the high ceilings but open plan architecture doesn’t do it for me. As a New Englander by birth I gravitate to a different style.
The Victorians out here don’t do much for me but if you’ve ever seen some of the Victorians back east, damn, those are some amazing houses.
