19 Irving Avenue, Atherton – Eichler’s Mid-Century Masterpiece

Nestled among Atherton’s mature oaks, 19 Irving Avenue is a 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath, 3,700-square-foot Eichler home that was custom-built for Joseph Eichler in 1951.

Retrofitting a Mid-Century Modern Eichler Home for Sustainability
Retrofitting a Mid-Century Modern Eichler Home for Sustainability

Upgrading an Eichler for sustainability doesn’t have to mean sacrificing its iconic mid-century modern soul. The Integrity Index helps homeowners identify retrofit strategies that boost energy performance, increase comfort, and enhance long-term value—while preserving the exposed-beam ceilings, glass walls, and architectural clarity Eichlers are known for. With careful planning and high-index upgrades like exterior roof insulation, heat-pump systems, slim aluminum glazing, and flush-mounted solar, owners can achieve a future-ready all-electric home that remains unmistakably Eichler.
