A meticulously reimagined Eichler in one of Marin's most beloved mid-century modern communities
Set in the sunny Terra Linda neighborhood of San Rafael, 776 Montecillo Road is a thoughtfully reimagined Eichler that stays true to its midcentury roots while embracing the updates that appeal to today’s buyer. The home has been completely remodeled with a clear intention: preserve the architectural simplicity that defines Eichler design while introducing materials, systems, and finishes that feel current and livable.
Inside, the home is bright and open, with the clean lines and indoor-outdoor connection Eichlers are known for. The main living space flows easily between kitchen, dining, and living areas, creating a layout that works just as well for quiet evenings at home as it does for hosting. At the center, the kitchen is anchored by a marble waterfall island and custom cabinetry, with carefully selected finishes, including Bedrosians tile, adding subtle texture while letting the architecture remain the focus.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout is comfortable and functional, with the primary suite positioned to take advantage of the surrounding outdoor space. The window wall looks out to the side yard, with a sliding glass door that opens directly outside, reinforcing the home’s connection to nature. The en-suite bath features a large shower and double vanity, while custom closet systems add thoughtful organization and abundant storage. Outside, the newly fenced yard offers room to gather, unwind, and cook under the open sky with a wood-burning outdoor oven as an inviting extension of the home’s living space.
Beyond the design, extensive upgrades address many of the structural and system components in midcentury homes, allowing the next owner to simply move in and enjoy the home as it was intended.
