A rare opportunity has emerged for mid-century modern enthusiasts as a stunning Eichler home in the coveted Balboa Highlands hits the market. Designed by renowned developer Joseph Eichler, this architectural gem seamlessly blends classic mid-century aesthetics with modern luxury.
Spanning approximately 2,800 square feet on a generous 13,000-square-foot lot, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence includes an office space, a two-car garage, and an electric wall unit. Conveniently located near major highways—including the 405, 118, 5, and 210—the home offers both accessibility and a private retreat.
Step through the front door into a breathtaking open-air courtyard, a tranquil oasis featuring a fire pit and floor-to-ceiling glass panels framed by lush greenery. Inside, the open-concept floor plan is designed for effortless entertaining, with natural sunlight pouring through expansive windows.

The main living and dining areas are anchored by a striking gas fireplace, providing warmth and ambiance while overlooking the backyard escape. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, boasting a large island with seating, floating cabinets, under-mount lighting, a walk-in pantry, and stainless-steel appliances. A full bathroom and wet room conveniently connect to the outdoor pool area, ensuring seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Beyond the home’s glass walls, the backyard is an entertainer’s paradise. A sparkling chlorine pool with a water feature, an in-ground spa, an outdoor shower, and multiple seating areas set the stage for luxurious relaxation. A sprawling 1,600-square-foot grassy extension provides ample space for games and gatherings, while a side-yard outdoor theater and gym/flex space add to the home’s impressive amenities.
Recent upgrades include engineered blonde wood plank flooring, newly installed sliding doors in key living spaces, and five additional A/C units—one for the main living area and four dedicated to each bedroom. As a fully integrated smart home, features can be controlled remotely for added convenience.
With its rich architectural pedigree, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and thoughtfully designed spaces, this Eichler masterpiece is a rare find in the Balboa Highlands.
