A Home Rooted in Eichler History

Constructed during the mid-century era when Joseph Eichler was transforming suburban living across the Bay Area, this home was rebuilt in 2000 to honor its architectural DNA while introducing modern functionality. With approximately 1,800 square feet, the floor plan has been expanded to feature four spacious bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths—a rarity among Eichler homes and a valuable feature for buyers seeking both style and space.

Defining Eichler Characteristics

From the moment you enter, the residence showcases Eichler’s unmistakable design language:

  • Vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings

  • Exposed post-and-beam construction

  • Walls of glass inviting abundant natural light

  • Seamless indoor-outdoor transitions via sliding glass doors

The open great room serves as the heart of the home, connecting directly to the landscaped backyard while engineered wood floors and clean architectural lines create a setting that feels both modern and timeless.

Spaces Designed for Living

At the center is a kitchen designed for gathering, with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a dining bar that encourages both casual meals and lively conversation. The adjoining dining area opens to a side patio, perfect for enjoying Redwood City’s sun-soaked climate.

The primary suite, privately situated at the rear of the home, offers garden access, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with quartz shower walls and a sleek vanity. Three additional bedrooms, a beautifully updated hall bath, and a powder room complete the flexible layout.

Comparing Redwood City homes

Use this historical property as a design reference, then assess each current home on its own merits. Compare floor plans, original and altered features, usable outdoor space and available permit records. Ask qualified inspectors to evaluate the actual systems and condition.

Test your routes to parks, shopping, work and transit from the exact address. Verify school assignments directly with the relevant district for the intended school year. A neighborhood label or another listing’s description does not establish those details.
