THE TOY RESIDENCE | A Jones & Emmons Masterwork

When Time Capsules Come to Market

Fairhills, Orange | 1964 | The Largest Model They Ever Built Here

Let's talk numbers first, because they matter: In the last five years, exactly two authentically original, straight-from-the-archives Eichlers have surfaced in Orange County. This is one of them. Houses like this don't circulate—they hibernate with families who understand what they have. The Toy family understood. For 49 years, they lived here. For nearly a century each, they thrived here. That kind of devotion? You can feel it in every Philippine mahogany panel.

THE BONES (and why they're beautiful)

This is the largest Jones & Emmons model in the Fairhills tract—the one they designed when they had room to breathe, space to dream. Built in 1964 in Orange's only Eichler neighborhood with underground powerlines (because even then, someone was thinking about sightlines), this home is architecturally intact in ways that make preservationists weep with joy.

The Greatest Hits:

The Aggregate Walkway – Your first kiss with midcentury texture
Philippine Mahogany Walls – Warm, glowing, impossibly original
The Atrium – That signature indoor/outdoor heart, pumping natural light through the entire organism of the house
Walls of Glass – Connecting nearly every room to the outside (because walls should work harder than just holding up roofs)
High Tongue-and-Groove Ceilings + Post-and-Beam – The cathedral of casual living
Skylights – Because California invented sunshine, and Eichler figured out how to install it
Original Kitchen & Bathroom Vanities – Meticulous, intact, increasingly mythical
Split-Wing Floor Plan – Master suite + connecting bedroom on one side; three more bedrooms + bath + laundry on the other (with exterior access perfect for pool party flow)

THE PRAGMATICS (because romance needs a foundation)

Here's where analytical meets actual: This house is solid. And we don't mean metaphorically.

Recent Systems & Infrastructure:

Foam roof, freshly coated
Complete hot & cold water repipe
Main sewer line sleeved
Two HVAC units (1-year-old + 2-year-old)
Upgraded electrical panel
Pool (present, accounted for, ready for your creative vision)

Translation? You're not inheriting deferred maintenance. You're inheriting a meticulously cared-for home where the big-ticket items are handled. Your budget goes toward paint colors, furniture, landscaping, pool finishes—the fun stuff. The stuff that makes it yours.

THE FAIRHILLS DIFFERENCE

Mature tree canopy. Quiet streets. The kind of neighborhood where people walk at dusk and actually wave. This is Orange's midcentury enclave, and it looks like someone remembered to water it for 60 years.

THE LIFESTYLE (or: why this changes everything)

Living in a glass-box home fundamentally alters your relationship with time, light, and seasons. You'll notice shadows at 4 PM you never knew existed. You'll watch storms from your atrium. You'll understand why post-and-beam isn't just structure—it's rhythm.

This is a home for people who want their space to mean something. Who understand that original Philippine mahogany isn't just wood—it's a conversation with 1964. Who know that authenticity isn't a trend; it's a discipline.

Live where you Love. Love where you Live.

The Toy Residence isn't asking you to fix it. It's asking you to continue it. To be the next chapter in a story that's already been told beautifully.

You deserve a house that's already solid. That's already sacred. That's already yours—you just don't have the keys yet.
