Home of the Day: An Eichler original in Orange

Developed by master builder Joseph Eichler, this well-kept modernist home in Orange’s Fairhaven tract is defined by his philosophy of optimism, indoor-outdoor living and enduring construction.

Exposed beams and an interior atrium make the flat-roofed single-story as timeless today as it was when it debuted more than a half century ago. A rear wall of glass centers on a pool.
