Snag This Thoughtfully Modernized Eichler For $1.2M
Located in an enclave of Eichler homes known as Rancho San Miguel in Walnut Creek, California, this three-bedroom, two-bath abode has received a stunning renovation, preserving its gorgeous midcentury character while tastefully modernizing the spacious interiors. The extensive updates took the 1958 home "down to the studs," transforming the 1,676-square-foot (per public record) property into practically a new home.
Featuring post-and-beam construction, pitched ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and open-plan living area, this midcentury gem is surrounded by lush green landscaping which seamlessly integrates inside the home.
The open-plan living room features expanses of glass, integrating the lush surroundings into the bright and airy space.
The post-and-beam construction is highlighted by the use of white paint against the ceiling's natural wood finish, creating a chic, modern look.

Both bathrooms are beautifully updated with porcelain flooring, plus radiant heating and cooling technology.
The newly landscaped yard is virtually maintenance free and features modern concrete hardscapes, as well as wood decking—perfect for alfresco entertaining.
There is even a private meditation garden off the master with a zen pond, waterfall feature, and a hot tub.
