Inside one of Eichler's Iconic homes in Sacramento | House tour

- When Jeff and Zann had the chance to purchase an Eichler home off-market they jumped at the opportunity. They currently reside in the South Land Park tract that was designed by Architects Jones and Emmons and Developed by the visionary Joseph Eichler in the 1950s and 1960s which stands as an enduring symbol of post-war optimism and innovation in housing.
Jeff and Zann have really stayed true to the design of the home and haven't changed much as they love and respect the design. Now being a historically designated neighborhood, South Land Park will now live as a more uninterrupted neighborhood for years to come. Beyond their architectural significance, Eichler homes are also prized for their sense of community. The South Land Park tract was designed with communal green spaces and pedestrian-friendly streets, fostering a strong sense of neighborhood cohesion and social interaction among residents.
Today, The Sound Land Park tract remains a highly desirable area, attracting homeowners who appreciate its architectural heritage and modernist aesthetic. Many of these homes have been carefully preserved or restored, maintaining their original charm while incorporating contemporary amenities for modern living. As such, the neighborhood continues to inspire admiration and fascination among architecture enthusiasts and homeowners alike, serving as a living testament to Joseph Eichler's enduring legacy.

Love it when an Eichler owner lives in them like they were intended, and doesn't turn it into the typical museum of kitsch.
I love the 4 bedroom atrium Eichlers. If we still had developers building affordable beautiful homes for the modestly paid masses, the American Dream would continue.
I live in a country town in Australia in a concrete block unit (one of five) that owes so much to these homes and other mid-century Californians. Mine was built in 1975 but borrows the clerestory windows, beams, wood-lined ceiling, and careful orientation for both privacy and light that can only really be appreciated once you are living in them. As a young person I longed for the tall ceilings and ornate fixtures of a Victorian terrace house, and it wasn't until I rented one that I realised how dark, inward-looking, and cut off from their surroundings these homes can be. In my current rental, like Zann, I find myself tracking the daily and seasonal movement of the sun, appreciating the connection to the borrowed landscape I look out upon, and drawn towards my own artistic pursuits in the calm simplicity of the interior. I am enjoying this series of videos so much, and am so grateful to owners like Jeff and Zann for allowing us all to share their homes a little. Thank you.
What a wonderful insight about how the architecture has changed her. The play of light is so gorgeous, thank you for capturing. And yes, leave the walls up, as designed, such a good ask. 🙏
It’s always so great to see people actually ENJOYING these homes 😊
So excited that you did a video on one of these homes. I live within a 3min walk of that all those stunning homes. Happy to finally take a look inside one of them. My gosh you guys could go door to door there and make a ton of content on the rest of the surrounding mid century modern homes.
Love these older homes. Reminds me of my grandparents home in Marin county back in the 80s.
I wish they made new ones. All the new construction homes are so hideous.
They make them new in Palm Springs!
@@openspace.series that's great news! I wonder if it's more or less expensive than the new construction homes they're making nowadays?
Unfortunately I live in Sacramento in the same neighborhood as the house in this video and there aren't many for sale out here. Currently live in a Mid Century modern home but it doesn't belong to me and I don't think it is an eichler.
Wow, wonderful home and wonderful narration. I agree, I hope the walls are never removed. It is perfect as it is.
Absolutely perfect video, story, and Eichler Home as always, Open Space. I’ve visited that area since it’s the closest Eichler tract near me and I still dream about living there even though the person who showed me hates me!
What a wonderful episode - thank you!
Great video Zann! You did a great job of articulating what makes Eichlers so special and livable! I can wait to go home and look at the shadows on our walls from the beams! And thanks for the shout out!
The $20 Finn Juhl coffee table find is crazy
I gave them $40 - I’m not a monster 😂
right?!?!
Oh how I wish I could afford one of these gems now. Sacramento has become so unnecessarily expensive.
As always, nice work!
Agree with everything she said
Lovely house and person.
So beautiful!
Nicely done, and to Jeff and Zann - what a lovely job you've done making it you're own. Couldn't agree more on the original plan vs "opening it up." There was a reason for all of the brilliant design/structure elements of there era - one of the reasons these homes are timeless.
Thanks, Eldon. And thank YOU for all you've done for Fresno MCM!
exquisite, beautiful taste, thank you for sharing
Just an incredible house. Can I ask what color that gray/green is you have throughout the home? It’s so subtle but interesting!
It's a few different colors - all done by the previous owners (2010-2013). Kelly Moore's "Head for the Beach" is the main outside/inside house body color. It actually looks tan on the paint chip, but reads green to the eye. I really like it because it is subtle. There's one that's more of a deep green-gray, but I don't know the name.
That honker condensing unit on the roof is a little buzz kill but certainly needed in those sac summers. Glad to see sac getting some shine.. Quincy A Jones designed some stunner MCM SFR around town as did the Streng Bros.
It's funny (and probably sad), but all the Eichler roofs in our neighborhood have a "buzzkill" on them. Did you know, they spec'ed our houses with galvanized steel water pipes instead of copper, so the radiant heating failed before too long. Hence, pipes & accoutrement on the rooftops. Not optimal, but that's the story...I wish we all still had the radiant heat.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and your great insight! My absolute favorite architecture. I have had the pleasure of working on some of these masterpieces in Palo Alto.
I live around the corner from this house in another Eichler. Currently we are almost completing the process to establish a historical district with the City of Sacramento including the homes that were unElichered they were grandfathered in for a total of 60 dwellings. My family bought my home in 1956; it had been empty for 1 year the homes were not selling like in other areas of California. As far as removing the wall between the kitchen between living room this lets the light flood in the kitchen and provides a nice view of the backyard.
Hi Susan, all correct, but as I said in the video, I think enough light floods into the kitchen without removing the wall. And I spend a lot of time in the living room looking at the yard. Just my personal opinion, of course. I can understand why people do it, but I still don't like it...
@@zanngates Only if your kitchen is not on the north side of the house; all the Elichlers on my block on the west side of the street have north facing kitchens so very little natural light.
LFG!
This is my dream, this is my goal. Absolute stunning!
I love your content!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😊🎉
Very tasteful home. A great eye for design. Love it!
I grew up in the South Land Park neighborhood. My best friend in preschool, Hillary, lived in an Eichler home. My earliest memories were about that house. It's why I obtained a degree in construction. I wish I could afford one. I don't have too many more years to make this dream come true.
The home in this video had the same floor plan as my friends. (Could be the same house.) I've always loved that 3/4 height kitchen wall.
all the objet are beautiful
Very nice video
What a great interview! Inspiring.
I love these videos
Beautiful Episode!
So right on!
beautiful home! i appreciate the insight on 3/4 walls. in general, i’m curious why we don’t see footage of bathrooms as well?
Amazing as always!
I've heard nightmares about living in a "historic" home. Be careful what you wish for.
Delicious!
Very!
Love this home!
❤❤
Beautiful Beautiful Space
Great video of your beautiful home! Loved learning more (and seeing the brief cameo of Freddi and Frida 🐶
It's like it was planned - so funny and great!
She’s terrific!
Zann is wonderful!

I lived in California for 17 years and one of my best friends had an Eichler in Palo Alto that I absolutely loved.
