- 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
- 1890sf living space on a 7918sf lot
- Remodeled atrium model, gourmet kitchen, master suite with walk-in closet

Mark's Preview Notes:

The owners of this Eichler have taken care to update the windows to dual pane, but in the process of doing so added a lower window sill -- not very Eichler but a good safety consideration for small children.  The lot and landscaping is quite nice and the bamboo floors are a pleasant update.

Marks' Preview Notes:

This Eichler is full of pleasant surprises.  First, the crushed stone driveway (gold fines I believe they are called) is a different approach, then as you enter the house you discover that the carport has been converted into a shaded outdoor dining area equipped with a restaurant-grade gas heater.  This conversion effectively makes this Eichler feel more like a late-model Atrium design.

Mark's Preview Notes:

The first impression made by this Eichler is how striking the huge front door is (taking the side fixed glass panel into the swinging door) so this must lead into something special -- and yes, it delivers.  The atrium is covered by an intelligently designed peak roof with glass windows and skylights, a very Eichler-esque choice.  The hobby room was converted into a formal dining room, the kitchen has been elegantly remodeled, and neutral browns and earth-tone materials throughout this home make it warm and true to the Eichler spirit.

Mark's Preview Notes:

This is an opportunity to see what Eichler townhomes in 1963 were all about, it’s that original!  This unit needs a lot of work for sure -- floors, bathrooms, paint, and a new kitchen, not to mention that the radiant water boiler is missing (something that will not pass any FHA financing by the way).  Everything is original -- wood paneling, globe lights, vanities, closet sliders and all.  But I can’t think of a better place to start if you are up for the excitement of putting all your own touches on this townhome.  In fact, this unit has an unusually large rear patio/deck area that backs to Pomeroy Elementary School as a bonus.  Going in here at the right price will surely put you in an equity position when the remodeling is finished!
