More Insights
Built in 1957 (68 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1957, this Eichler home has undergone a comprehensive and high-quality modernization, as explicitly stated in the description and evident in the images. The kitchen is a 'spectacular chef's kitchen with high-end appliances,' featuring modern flat-panel cabinetry, a large island, and integrated appliances. The primary suite boasts a 'private spa with a soaking tub, rainfall shower, and foot bath,' and the visible bathroom elements are sleek and contemporary. Throughout the home, radiant heated floors, split AC units, modern light fixtures, and a mix of pristine tile and hardwood flooring indicate a very recent and extensive renovation, meeting current quality standards with virtually new components.
