Located on the highest point in the tract, this Claude Oakland-designed Eichler embodies the essence of Mid Century Modern living. Thoughtfully maintained and true to its architectural roots, the home features a rare original, impeccably preserved Eichler kitchen -- complete with the iconic pull out table. Step through the brand new steel entry door into the signature atrium, your private open air living space, seamlessly connecting to the bright, expansive living areas beyond. Walls of glass, post and beam construction, and classic indoor outdoor flow create the timeless aesthetic Eichler homes are celebrated for. This home has been exceptionally well cared for and updated where it counts: a new roof (July 2023), new HVAC system (July 2023), new interior and exterior paint, new carpet, renovated bathrooms (one with deep soaking tub), and newly replaced atrium concrete (2024). Energy efficient aluminum double pane windows ensure comfort throughout the seasons. The two front bedrooms have been combined into one expansive room, creating a generous space that could even function as a second bedroom suite, yet also could easily be converted back to the original two rooms. The large private backyard offers multiple seating and entertaining areas beneath a charming pergola. A collection of fruit trees -- including a rare exotic pomelo, guava, loquat, lemon, orange, persimmon, plus potted fig and pomegranate -- brings a lush, organic feel to the space. The wide side yard has boat or RV storage possibilities. With its architectural pedigree and location, just 30 minutes from Malibu and under an hour from both the Burbank studios and downtown Santa Barbara - this home blends design significance with exceptional convenience.
