All our neighborhood Eichlers have a cinder-block fireplace. We inherited all our block in good shape, but some neighbors weren’t so lucky …

bonsai butterfly

Now we’re REALLY getting paranoid –yet more neighbors (and friends) are selling-up and leaving! We’re über sad to see these guys go, but very happy for them, as they begin their next chapter.

Another Sacramento Eichler is about to hit the market. We’ve known this was coming for a while, as we’re friends with the sellers. It will be very sad to see them go, but they won’t be far away. And hopefully we’ll get some nice new neighbors. This beautifully cared for 1955 Eichler, has 3-beds/2-baths and …

We bought the last Eichler for sale here, but soon we’ll no longer be the neighborhood newbies. 6489 South Land Park Drive is about to hit the market. We already had a sneak preview, at the garage sale I mentioned –an immaculate 2-car garage, by the way. The house is listed as a 5-bed/2 bath …
