    Oh, what a beauty!! Love that sheltered courtyard and the beautiful, simple facade in that first pic. If I bought it, the first thing I'd do was paint those beams in a darker color, looks like the owners might have been a bit eager with the white. I'm sure mr Eichler intended the structural elements to stand out:-) Too far, Dana? I could see you in that one:-)

      I agree with you about the beams, and I would get rid of the blue trim, but with their color choices for the interior, I'm sure it suits their style.

      Yes, it's a shame to see someone make "improvements" that are really architectural eyesores.

      They used your yellow! As I started to respond to your comment, I realized I had left a photo of what appears to be a broad, bright yellow hallway (or long, narrow room) out of the post, so I added it quickly, just for you.

    Amazing house. It has just the right amount of bedrooms and bathrooms that I'm after too! Love it all - including the colour used throughout. Great home.

      It's really cheery...like your personality. A move to California, perhaps? :)

    I live not too far from this Eichler "Rancho San Miguel" neighborhood in Walnut Creek, so every once in a while I'll drive through it... It's very interesting because some of the Eichlers are quite run-down, others have been "updated" badly, and then some have been beautifully preserved.

      We have a couple of neighborhoods similar to that here in Fort Worth. One is a mid-century neighborhood, and one dates back to the early 1900s. Both have beautifully restored homes sitting right next to really run down ones inhabited by some pretty sketchy characters. I have a friend who moved out of one of those neighborhoods after he had a car stolen the seventh time.

    Just in the next suburb to us is a home going for $800,000 + . It's no Eichler!
    I'd lose the blue and move right in, thanks for sharing. x
