This house was originally built in 1965 by renowned San Francisco Bay Area developer Joseph Eichler. Spanning 1.3 acres, the property features an ornamental landscape design complete with an authentic Japanese Tea House. Towering redwoods, mountain views, and a meandering footpath create a serene setting that blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The new owners were dedicated to preserving the home’s architectural integrity as they looked to improve its approach and add a thoughtfully designed covered outdoor kitchen and entertainment area adjacent to the pool. The reimagined front entry opens up the once solid entry wall, replacing it with horizontal slats that introduce a technique of transparency, allowing natural light to flow into the courtyard while maintaining privacy. An old water feature was repurposed into a large planter, adding lush texture and color. Linear lighting beneath the stair treads subtly illuminates the pathway, guiding visitors gracefully from the driveway to the front entry. The addition of a new front door and thoughtfully designed landscaping around the courtyard completes the transformation.
