A Lush Eichler in Los Angeles Is Available For the First Time in 40 Years
Like most Eichler lovers, what initially attracted the current homeowners, Bob and Dallas, to this midcentury gem was its free-flowing open concept, exposed beams, and illuminated atrium. Forty years later, the artistic couple are just as captivated by the home as they were when they first moved in.
Located in the Balboa Highlands area of Granada Hills, a tract deemed a HPOZ (Historic Preservation Overlay Zone), the residence sits among several other Eichler properties. The cantilevered gable entry of this home gives the illusion of a floating roof.
Not only have the two tenderly cared for the historic property throughout the years, but Dallas—an artist—has also used it as a canvas to relive the couple’s adventures. Many of her original paintings, inspired by their travels, can be found spread across the interiors.
Upon entering the front door, guests and residents are welcomed inside via the sunny atrium—a signature feature in Eichler homes. Lush greenery fills the space, creating an instant connection with nature.
After calling the residence "home" for nearly half a century, Bob and Dallas recently listed the property, wanting another family to make the space their own.
The crisp white color palette and expansive windows brighten the interior, while original detailing—such as the globe light fixtures—brings the home's midcentury past to life.
Spreading across 2,077 square feet, the house features four bedrooms and two baths, and sits on a 11,035-square-foot lot in the vibrant Granada Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Floor-to-ceiling windows and large skylights invite ample natural light inside the home.
Located in the HPOZ (Historic Preservation Overlay Zone) area of Balboa Highlands, the home is kept in good company among other Eichler properties—and also has the potential of benefitting through the Mills Act.
Overlooking the jungle-like backyard, the kitchen features plentiful counter space, as well as vibrant mosaic tile work along the wall.
With much of the original detailing still intact, the residence offers a chance to step back in time, all while being perfectly suited to modern-day living. Scroll ahead to see more of the home, currently listed for $830,000.
Steps away from the kitchen is a spacious eating area.
A more formal dining area is located near the living room. Sliding glass doors provide direct access to the backyard pool.
A look at the home office, complete with clerestory and glass-block windows.
In total, the property features four bedrooms, many of which lead directly to the backyard.
While the home is conveniently located near Los Angeles, its expansive, tree-filled backyard offers a serene escape from city life.
17130 Nanette Street is currently listed for $830,000 by Gregory Guinto of Sotheby's International Realty.
