From the Agent:"Designed by legendary architect Claude Oakland, and built by Eichler homes in 1969, this masterpiece is truly awe inspiring and a tribute to midcentury-modern architecture. Affectionately known as the ‘Super H,’ this Super Eichler boasts an extensive single-level floor plan of 2,448 square feet. There are four amply sized bedrooms, and two and a half wonderfully remodeled bathrooms with custom cabinetry and contemporary tile and fixtures, including a generous primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, a private split bath, and direct outdoor access."

Bright yellow doors lead to the home’s open-air atrium, which connects various rooms across the single-level, H-shaped floor plan.
