1789 N Shaffer St

I WAS BORN IN THE WRONG DECADE. I can picture myself exploring the Fairmeadow tract of Eichler Homes in Orange County as a young aerospace engineer in the early 1960s, when these homes were new. They say you can never go back...but they obviously don't know about this home. In 2013 the Eichler home on this lot was tragically lost in a fire. But fortified with the original plans and a determination to preserve this neighborhood, it was rebuilt on the original foundation, faithful to the original Eichler design, but with the energy efficiency and seismic performance of a home built in 2015. It's like a time machine: you can enjoy the best of the past with the knowledge of the present. How cool would you be if you could go back to high school with everything you know now? This home has features you will not find on any other Eichler -- this home is a one-of-one, a unicorn. From the commercial glass system for the windows to the strengthened (and hidden!) seismic connections and roof, this home has things no other Eichler does. Add in the frameless glass corners and double-sided, glass-topped fireplace and you have the best the SoCal Eichler world has to offer. Don't let this home be the one that "got away" -- the one you'll someday tell your grand kids about. You still have time and this home could be yours.
