My Eichler listing in San Rafael which was located at 72 Golden Hinde Blvd just sold today for $795,000. I listed the property and received an offer before the home even hit the market. Listed and sold in one day!

This property was a 4 bedroom / 2 bathoom atrium model Eichler  that combined the best of traditional mid-century design with thoughtful energy efficient updates including solar, dual pane windows, foam roof, UNICO heating & air conditioning system, on demand hot water heater, and more. The home was located in the increasingly popular Terra Linda area of San Rafael within close proximity to shopping, public transportation, and top-rated San Rafael Schools (Dixie).

I was delighted to sell this Eichler home along with a number of other listings in San Rafael's 94903 zip code this year (one of a few zip codes in Marin where single-family homes under the $800k mark which are marketed properly are going into contract very quickly right now).

I enjoyed working with both the seller and the buyers of 72 Golden Hinde Blvd and would welcome the opportunity to assist you with the purchase or sale of real estate in Marin County. Contact me at 415-342-4537 and let me know how I can assist!

With the holidays upon us, I wanted to offer a few timely "stocking stuffer" gift ideas for fellow fans of Eichler homes & other mid-century modern homes. 

Since the holiday shopping rush is on, I'll start with a few inexpensive books that I've read and would recommend to fellow modernists this holiday season:

RANCH HOUSES: Living the California Dream
Released earlier this year, this book was written by two Bay Area Architects and features some fantastic "California Modern" ranch homes ranging from Cliff Mays to homes by noted architect Richard Neutra.    The book has some incredible photography by architectural photographer Joe Fletcher.   

ATOMIC RANCH: Design Ideas for Stylish Ranch Homes
Published in 2006, this is a fantastic book which features a variety of mid-century modern homes (including a number of  Eichlers!).    The featured properties in this book range from untouched, "original" mid-century homes to completed remodeled and updated mid-century ranch homes.  The photography is excellent and the book can be helpful if you are looking for design tips or inspiration for an Eichler home remodel.

EICHLER: Modernism Rebuilds the American Dream
This is a fabulous book dedicated to Eichler homes - perfect for your bookshelf or coffee table!    The books is packed full (240 pages!) of great information about Joseph Eichler and the fabulous homes that he built during his career.   The book features extensive photography and is sure to please anyone who appreciates mid-century modern residential architecture!

Check out these books and let me know if there are any others that you recommend since I'm frequently asked by clients and friends about good books for Eichler homeowners (or future Eichler homeowners)!

Happy Holidays & contact me for your marin real estate or San Francisco real estate needs!

I just sold this Eichler home located on a sunny and quiet lot in Marinwood California.

Originally listed with another agent for almost 1 year who was unable to sell the property, I was able to list, re-stage, aggressively market, and sell this Eichler home for over the asking price before the first public open house.

This was a very fulfilling transaction for me since the sellers were anxious to move on with their lives and move into a retirement community however they couldn't make the transition until their home was sold. Once they re-listed their home with me, I immediately went to work on staging it with current furnishings, painted several walls, had the home professionally photographed, and then implemented a fresh online and offline marketing campaign for the home which signficantly enhanced its visibility to prospective buyers.

The result was an above asking price offer before the first public open house. The final sale price was $645,000 and my clients were elated to receive this price which was $50,000 more than what they had just been told their home was worth in this current market by their previous agent.

If you are thinking of selling a home in Marin County, I would welcome the opportunity to assist you!
