"Though modern updates have been skillfully introduced to 3772 Gainsborough Drive, for the most part, this midcentury showcase Eichler is a shrine to its original design - a design pioneered by one of Joseph Eichler's principal architects. Since 1964, the home has had only two owners. Your chance to be next comes with a $1.375 million price tag. This historic home was designed in 1964 by Claude Oakland."
"Oakland started his California career when he was invited to the Golden State by architect and Frank Lloyd Wright enthusiast Bruce Goff. From there, Oakland went on to work with Anshen & Allen, "developing prototypes for economy and mass production," to quote the USModernist. After Anshen & Allen, it was a logical step for Oakland to join Joseph Eichler, a developer whose mission was to build practical and economical homes - but also ethical ones."
3772 Gainsborough Drive is a midcentury Eichler residence designed by Claude Oakland in 1964, retaining its original design while featuring modern updates. The house has had only two owners since completion and is listed for $1.375 million. Claude Oakland began his California career after an invitation from Bruce Goff, then worked with Anshen & Allen developing prototypes for economy and mass production.

Joseph Eichler advocated fair housing, opposed discriminatory FHA recommendations, resigned from the National Association of Home Builders in 1958, and emphasized social and artistic ideals.
