Built between 1962-1964 under the guidance of architect Claude Oakland, Eichler Homes constructed approximately 100 single family homes in Diamond Heights, ranging in size from 1,629 -2,020 square feet.
Departing slightly from his classic one-story, post-and-beam ranch home design, Eichler developed seven distinct floorplans in this neighborhood, most of which are either two-story or split-level homes. Common floorplans for this Eicher tract include 4 bedroom/2.5 bath, 3 bedroom/2.5 bath, 3 bedroom/2 bath and two bedroom/2 bath homes.
Common features of Diamond Heights Eichler homes include in-floor hydronic radiant heat (copper pipes), floor-to-ceiling glass (which varies by degree based on the specific floorplan), tongue & groove ceilings, Japanese Shoji style closet doors and either 1 or 2 car garage parking. Most homes also include a courtyard which is consistent with the indoor/outdoor living theme that exemplified Joseph Eichler.
Many of these homes are still occupied by their original owners and neighborhood turnover is fairly low (3-5%, annually).
Pride of ownership and a commitment to preservation can be seen amongst many of the homes in this development however there are also a fair number of homes in need of restoration. Fortunately most homes have excellent 'bones' and can provide an excellent canvass for individuals passionate about mid-century modern design and Eichler preservation.
Selling prices for Diamond Heights Eichlers range between $900k-$1.25 million.
