Mid Century Modern Eichler Homes Available for Purchase
A couple of Eichler homes in the Balboa Highlands area of Granada Hills have been available for purchase for a couple of months now. This is your opportunity to purchase a a mid century modern home that are rarely available on the market. The Eichler homes are available in other neighborhoods throughout California with the next closest being Thousand Oaks and Orange. Also, the late Steve Jobs of Apple grew up in an Eichler home which he has stated, "that his appreciation for Eichler homes instilled in him a passion for making nicely designed products for the mass market" (Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson; pg 127). One more last tidbit, these homes are commonly featured in TV commercials, TV shows, and movies especially in Granada Hills because of the proximity to Hollywood so their is potential to earn extra income from filming.
4 Beds/1.75 Bath, 2,077 sqft. Last purchased in 1994 for $180,000. Listed at $739,000 on October 10, 2011 (maybe a price drop is needed here). Appears to be in almost perfect shape and close to original form, so maybe no or limited remodeling required. This is a 1964 classic by Claude Oakland F.A.I.A.

Anything and everything about the San Fernando Valley. This blog will take you back in time when the valley was covered with dirt and orange groves to a leader in the space race to its current status as America's suburb. Come along and join me on this adventure, I guarantee you have been influenced/impacted by the San Fernando Valley in one form or another even if you have never visited or heard of the SFV.
Thousand Oaks has the best Eichlers.
ReplyDeleteToo bad the Granada Hills tract became "UN" Eichlerized!!
I agree. It seems that a good number of homes have been modified which I am guessing is due to a lack of knowledge regarding these special homes.
