SOLD! Midcentury Eichler Coop Flat

3 BR | 2 BA | 1,304 SQ FT | WESTERN ADDITION | $977,000

Our client is a Bay Area native, and a first-time home buyer. After renting for decades, he decided it was time to diversify and invest in real estate. He really took the time to focus on his priorities and educate himself on what his money would get him. After touring both condos and SFRs, he methodically went through the exercise of weighing benefits of updated units vs. those that need work but have features like a great view, outdoor space, or a ton of square footage.

Ultimately his strong affinity for the Mid-Century Modern (MCM) aesthetic created a strong gravitational pull toward properties of that era. This makes for a pretty tight pool, as they only appear in a handful of areas. Perseverance paid off, though. He nabbed a 3BR/2BA unit that’s not just MCM, but an Eichler, the most notable designer of the period in the Bay Area. He gets extra bragging rights for being in Laguna Heights, one of the very few Eichler co-ops, to boot.

This flat features many of the original touches that make Eichlers so covetable: Airy, open space and huge windows that flood the rooms with light; a sleek brick fireplace; mahogany wall accents and doors, and so much more. We’re sure he can’t wait to enjoy his morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the serene garden and fountains.
