From the Agent: “Designed in 1964 by Claude Oakland, this uncommon midcentury-modern treasure blends architectural authenticity with considerate fashionable updates. From the unique built-in kitchen desk and cabinetry to a sun-drenched atrium, each element honors its Eichler heritage. The resort-style yard includes a saltwater pool, spa, and a pergola with heaters for year-round indoor/outside dwelling. One among solely 68 Eichlers within the Parkwood Estates neighborhood, it’s the right marriage of historic design pedigree and fashionable consolation.”
