I just returned from a business trip to the SF bay area and got to walk inside my very first Eichler! It was a cute little all-original model. I also had the pleasure of meeting up with Monique Lombardelli of Modern Homes Realty, who is who I bought my Eichler plans from. I drove through many neighborhoods full of Eichlers. I knocked on a couple doors but nobody wanted to show off their house. :-( I saw SO many variations of Eichlers, but I didn't get the chance to find one like the one I'm building. I think they are all up north maybe in the San Rafael area.
Anyway, cool trip and it was a pleasure meeting you Monique!
Hi Peter- I'm so glad I found your blog as my husband & I are also contemplating buying plans from Monique & building a Midwest Eichler. I have many questions that you've been tackling such as insulation, window thickness, etc., to accommodate colder temps. Would you mind sharing my most pressing question---the estimate from the builder on total cost for a modern Eichler? I don't even know if our dream house will be in our price range. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteAs of now I don't have an estimate yet as we are still working out the details of the various materials and such. Sorry!
