Lucas Valley Reimagined Eichler
$2,075,000 | 4 BEDS + OFFICE | 3 BATHS | 2,032± SQFT
Welcome home: a reimagined Lucas Valley Eichler that invites you to slow down
There’s a rare kind of home that invites you (urges you, even) to live differently. That invitation is clear the moment you walk through the front door. Tucked into the quiet curves of San Rafael’s Lucas Valley, this reimagined Eichler isn’t just a home—it’s a feeling. Owned and redesigned by acclaimed interior designer Katie Monkhouse, this residence is equal parts creative vision and sanctuary. As featured in Sunset Magazine, every inch reflects Katie’s talent for balancing clean, modern updates with the timeless soul of mid-century architecture.
With a newly enclosed atrium now acting as a light-filled extension of the home, natural textures, custom finishes, and designer details flow effortlessly from room to room. The result is a layout that feels both open and intimate—intentional, yet easygoing. Tongue-and-groove ceilings, engineered white oak floors, and statement lighting create a calm, curated rhythm throughout the home.
Step into the backyard and the story shifts to leisure—permission to rest, gather, and savor the California lifestyle. A sparkling solar-heated pool sits at the center of lush, layered landscaping, with plenty of room to host, garden, or simply lay back and do nothing at all. The home flows in a way that reminds you: you don’t need to leave to feel like you’ve gotten away.

Where nature, design, and community come together in one of Marin’s most peaceful corners
Living in Lucas Valley is like finding your own secret corner of Marin. Here, mornings begin with coffee from Red Whale or an early trail walk through golden hills. Evenings? They often end at Big Rock Deli—equal parts convenience store and neighborhood hangout—where you might catch a live band and a cold drink as the sun sets.
This iconic Eichler is tucked just far enough into the valley to feel peaceful and private, yet close enough to everything that matters. You’re minutes from community parks, open space, and everyday essentials, but also connected to something harder to define: a laid-back rhythm of living that makes this pocket of Marin so beloved. For those commuting into the city, you're just about 25± minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge—close enough for convenience, yet far enough to truly unplug. It’s where design meets ease, and where home feels like a place you’ll never want to leave.
