  • 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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @zanngates
      @zanngates 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      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...

    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.

    • @zanngates
      @zanngates 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      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.

    • @zanngates
      @zanngates 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      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.

      ​@@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.
