This Early Sixties Eichler Gets a New Lease on Life

Gainsborough

Text by ORA

The home is located in a neighborhood of notable, mid-century modern Eichler homes developed in the early 60’s in San Francisco’s East Bay. 

While in good condition, the home was in need of updating to better suit the Owners needs and strip back previous interventions that did not respect the integrity of Eichler’s clean lines and details.

The 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home was carefully restored and updated by Ora with a new reconfigured kitchen, bathrooms, and a 190sf laundry room addition to the garage. 

Interior spaces were re-configured to create a large entertainment kitchen and island connected to open dining and living areas.

A laundry room addition off of the garage satisfied the clients program needs while also respecting the homes layout.

Original features including the mahogany paneling, exposed post & beams, concrete floors, doors & windows, fireplace and exterior siding were restored and updated.
