A Modernized Marin County Eichler Lists For $1.5M
Love Eichler homes, but not interested in taking on an extensive renovation? This 1957 model may be for you. Located in San Rafael's lower Lucas Valley, this 1,805-square-foot midcentury home is completely remodeled and modernized.
While 595 Blackberry Lane has a contemporary look that may not appeal to Eichler purists, the home's lovely midcentury bones and move-in ready status make it quite the find. The four-bedroom, two-bath residence features a huge great room centered around a bright, contemporary kitchen—instead of an atrium—an omission that adds precious square footage to the living space.
The entry features a covered patio, new doors, and full-height windows.
The home opens to a light-filled sitting area which fronts the open-plan layout.
The interior is bright and airy with a white tongue and groove ceiling.
The lack of a central atrium adds square footage to the living space.
The centerpiece of the open plan is an updated kitchen with a breakfast bar.
The clean, contemporary interior is perfect for entertaining.
The open kitchen also features a large breakfast island with stone countertops, a gas cooktop, and a double oven.
