In Denver Colorado, HB Wolff developed a subdivision called Krisan Park in SE Denver. They are referred to as, 'Likelers' as they are based off of the Eichler design plans. One modification that Wolff used in his projects, was to build with a crawl space instead of a slab-on-grade foundation.
Arturo, Thanks for viewing and commenting. I appreciate your passion. Another mid century builder was Streng in the Nor Cal area (Sacramento and Davis) The Streng Brothers kept the roof lines, but the houses were built with the hot sun in mind, and often had covered atriums. : )
@@susancornishrealtor1485 Absoultely Amiga, I love connecting with other MCM fans. Yes, I love the Streng Homes too! The blog Mid-Century Mauer features a great Streng Home.
If I had 2 million cash, I would actually buy it. Usually I go for Victorians however I love eichlers too. Good luck to the new owner, hopefully they keep it as original as possible.
If I had that much I could spend, I would buy a move-in ready home in great condition, $500K maximum, and I would invest the rest. I live in Texas, so you don't have to spend over $1M to get a decent house.
@@MisterMikeTexasI think one reason that the housing is so cheap in Texas is high property tax. The government in Texas is running out of ideas on how to spend the money they are taking in from home owners.
Right now, here in Northeast Tarrant County, Texas near DFW Airport, I see an 1823 sq ft 3 bed 2 bath ranch, in very good shape, listing for $400K. Not sure what's going on in California where practically condemned homes are listing at 7 figures. Smh.
Depending where in California. The same house probably worth less than $200k 2 hours from metro areas. The house is near Stanford University. After Rehab you can sell it for $5M. This neighborhood is similar to West University neighborhood in Houston.
I don't love any house in that class enough to blow 7 figures on it! Especially one that would have been condemned and demolished already if it weren't an Eichler.
This house sold for $2,201,000 after 32 DOM. A "comp" in move in ready condition sold for $2,363,000. There is precious little margin for flippers in this market. You could do a "live in fix&flip" if that worked for you/your family/your talents/your interests. But even that is a 2 year adventure.
This particular property looks like a late 40s or early 50s Eichler because of the style and only one bathroom. Most Eichler's had only one bathroom until 1953, beginning with the Fairmeadow project in Palo Alto.
It's a great question. The answer varies from County to County and city to city. That is something you would explore when you are looking at purchasing a home. You need to make sure what you are hoping to do is allowed.

Its a wonderful neighborhood, and has sparked my interest in mid-century modern design. I lived up the street and found it randomly.
Nearly $2M for a house that's falling apart, and not even habitable right now?! And only 1 bath? That's insane!
Merica…..
Beautiful. Nearly all original, I would leave the kitchen, but restore it too.
The kitchen is in the right place, so a sympathetic restoration would be ideal.

That's an apples-to-oranges comparison. Eichler's are a sought-after architectural stye with a cult-like following.

I would love to see the after, with ARV analysis. Love these houses!

Almost 2 million for a house that would have torn down already if not being an eichler. What will the after renovation value be?

Right on! This one was built in 1951.
@@susancornishrealtor1485 Eichler really began to hit his 'stride' with home building in the mid-50s trough the 60s.
Could we place an ADU
on site while we do or
supervise the work?

You're not sure whether or not the shed was built by eichler? Really? 🤦🏼♀️
Sorry, I kept the sarcasm on a low simmer.
