An Eichler Full of Original Details and Midcentury Charm Lists For $1.2M

Original wood paneling abounds in this San Rafael gem.

Published by

If you're looking for an Eichler with many of its original details intact—this just might be the home for you. Located in San Rafael, this three-bedroom, two-bath Eichler features 1,409 square feet of living space and a large two-car garage.

Built in 1961, the home has many of the classic elements one looks for in an Eichler: an open floor plan, an original brick fireplace, Philippine Mahogany-paneled walls, radiant heating, and globe pendant lighting.

Select updates make the home comfortable for contemporary living—including dual-pane sliding glass doors, which lead to the beautifully landscaped backyard garden. 

This classic Eichler may not have an atrium, but it's priced slightly lower as a result.

HAY Hee Dining Chair

Inspired by an unlikely source – the wire shelves inside a refrigerator—designer Hee Welling created the Hee Collection (2004) for HAY. The durable powder-coated finish makes the Hee Dining Chair suitable for indoor and outdoor use by protecting the solid steel underneath. This airy, linear chair stacks up to 8 high for easy storage. Made in China.
