The house untouched for 50 years
We bought this house. Actually, it is a model E-111 (I think). The only difference is that the washer and dryer are piped in the garage, the master bath layout is slightly changed and the guest bath is one space moved towards the rear of house-oh and square footage is 120 sq. feet less. The architects Anshen and Allen do not have available blueprints available online. I may have to drive over to their office and start begging. ( Eichler was a developer, not an architect). Cosmetic needs abound. Save for an icky yellow basic paint job, and removed ancient vinyl tile flooring then coated in blah grey porch paint- it is as original as they come. Lots to do. I think that having something with so many original surfaces intact actually creates fear of renovating, in losing something pure. Unfortunatley , most of the surfaces do not have any visible pure charm left, so we embark upon the transformation
