Eichler's are such interesting, beautiful homes. I just think as long as it is in a safe neighborhood, just looking at all the sliding doors and floor to ceiling windows, they are a peeping tom's dream and easy to break into.

Christian, Thank you for visiting! It is a lot of glass, for sure. The funny thing is that most of the "exposure" is in the back. Eichlers are notorious for little to no front facing windows. Everything revolves around the courtyard or the back yard.

I’ll never understand why MCM front elevations are plain. Do we live in Iraq and have to worry about the neighbors shooting them?

I will drop a quote from an article: www.eichlernetwork.com/article/first-impressions-simple-statements “The beauty of a mid-century modern home is their simple and straightforward use of materials, whether it is the exposed beam ceilings, the walls of glass, or the concrete wall blocks,” Tauber says. “The garage and the front doors are the first things that people encounter about a home, and they’re part of that equation. Keeping it simple and modern stays within the idiom and style of the home, making the house look and feel complete.”

@@susancornishrealtor1485 Yes. They all do it. I just think that they are overly plain or have some weird architectural trims and such that just don’t look right. I love MCMs but this is my primary heartburn. When you look at a beautiful car the first impression is instant. Then you can discover why your eye was so attracted to it. When I see MCM entries, I say. “Oh, cheap, featureless, unfinished, unwelcoming, etc.”. Obviously, I am in the minority but, there it is. I do like the ones that have a recessed entry. Some of these open to the courtyard. At least, you’re not looking at a slab.

@@jamesdellaneve9005 That’s the beauty of the plain front facade. The surprise and beauty once you enter the home. Plus, the plain facade may cause unscrupulous people to bypass for a more “appealing” home. Just a thought.

@@toebeans3985 Except that the front’s are not beautiful. They are cheap and ugly. It must have been a bug-a-boo with Eichler. To intentionally make them plain and ugly. Frank Loyd Wright use to do the compression and release thing, which worked, but it wasn’t ugly.

Beautiful home but the staging is awful. The color combinations are cheap looking

Sean, Thanks for visiting! Staging in Mid Mod is hotly contested. Should you go fully period correct? OR should you stage with nice "regular" pieces so that ppl don't feel like "their stuff" won't go well? What I DO know is that I would not stage with, say, "french provincial" or ornate scroll work... Most stagers just "keep it neutral".

Destroyed original features, big disgrace. I keep seeing this in eichler properties. People are destroying his legacy...

Marcus, thanks for visiting. Have you seen any Eichlers I have toured that you like?

@marcusbrown1767 Жыл бұрын

@susancornishrealtor1485 the outside looks dandy, I'm unsure why kitchen and bathrooms are always destroyed in these properties. Those original features stand out in these houses. My property has the original masonite sliders, they are just like those in eichlers-otherwise I wouldn't have purchase the property. Keep shining strong Mrs susan.

I agree. Why buy these iconic homes and rip out what contributes to their uniqueness?
