Highly desirable Fairglen neighborhood Atrium model Eichler. The owners have given attention to sustainable living while maintaining Eichler minimalism. The kitchen has refinished and custom cabinets with a stainless steel countertop that includes a seamless one-piece sink, updated stainless appliances, and a commonly sought after gas cooktop conversion.
The original mohagany wood paneling is brilliantly accented by the 10ft ceilings in the living and dining rooms and the original globe lights remain throughout the house.
The updated Armstrong VCT tile flooring offer a close mirror to the original 9-inch tiles Eichler used when building this 1960 mid-century modern home.
Both bathrooms have been updated with taste while respecting the minimalism architecture. Mosaic tiles, Toto low-flush toilet, glass shower door, and new vanity are just some of the features.
Each Eichler would not be complete without mentioning the "California Living" outdoor lifestyle. With mature shade and fruit trees, the private back yard includes integrated vegetable boxes and outdoor dining patio with BBQ area.
Radiant heat system embedded in the concrete slab works great and the newer roof just 6 years old includes a transferrable warranty to offer peace of mind to the new buyer.
Don't forget the neighborhood! The vibrant Fairglen Eichler homeowners have annual block parties, organized garage sale days, and Eichler open house tours to see some of the latest remodeling ideas. Lastly, it is just a short walk to Booksin Elementary, St. Christopher, and Presentation High School.

Since having bought a Willow Glen
Eichler
in 2001, Mark awoke a fascination for mid-century modern design,
architecture,
furniture, and even art or music of the period. Some of the Eichler
projects he and wife Sabrina have undertaken include updating both
bathrooms,
installing new flooring throughout, and completely remodeling their
kitchen into an entertainers delight.
After working with Jerry Ditto (author
and Eichler Homes Realty founder) throughout 2008, it became clear that
Mark was the best qualified and most passionate Eichler enthusiast to
continue driving the Eichler Homes movement into the 21st
century. Mark re-launched www.eichlerhomes.com in January 2009 as a blog, and today it
proudly
attracts nearly 10,000 visitors per month!
Mark has made it a mission to impact
and improve people’s lives through a passion for serving clients far
beyond buying and selling property -- we become their trusted advisors
for all aspects of home ownership. Mark’s devotion to serving
clients to the deepest level possible has centers around his philosophy

Prior to real estate, Mark previously has held positions over an 18 year high-tech career in engineering, management, sales, and marketing with Palm, Access, and Phoenix Technologies.
