[Attention Surplus Disorder]

There are numbers of similar mid-century (often called “Eichler” homes—I assume after the designer/architect out there in CA. If such a home was built in OH, I assume it would be a little more stoutly built. Other than the bathrooms, they look pretty cool.

But you go to renovate anything in such a home, and I mean anything...and your nightmare will begin with great vengeance.

There are several Eichler neighborhoods near me. A great design IMO but badly in need of modern materials. The thinly insulated roofs, single pane windows and radiant heat systems are a problem on the original Eichlers.

There are a TON of those in the SF Bay area -- like entire communities made up of 'em:

They look to be fast to construct and OK for snowless climes -- like SF -- but I sure wouldn't want one in snowy OH.

They also tend to be about 1/3 of the square footage size of the one in OH.
