Walls of glass. Architectural drama. Pure Eichler magic! This stunning 1958 courtyard-model Eichler in San Rafael's coveted Lower Lucas Valley is a masterclass in sophisticated mid-century modern living. Showcasing iconic post-and-beam construction, striking rooflines, radiant floor heating, and expansive walls of glass, this architectural gem effortlessly blurs the lines between indoors and out. A gorgeous newly reimagined kitchen features sleek cabinetry, contemporary countertops, stylish backsplash, and a separate bar area. The removal of a wall creates a spectacular open-concept living space with uninterrupted sightlines from the private front courtyard through to the expansive backyard. A striking new modern courtyard fence, fresh landscaping, artificial turf, and paver patio elevate the home's curb appeal and outdoor living experience. Beyond the glass, an extraordinary backyard unfolds with lush lawn, inviting patios, and a picturesque hillside dotted with mature oaks, natural rock formations, and beautiful plantings, all backing to open space. Two rear bedrooms open directly to this peaceful setting, creating a seamless connection to nature. Additional highlights include three mini-split units, updated bathroom finishes, and a newer garage door. Ideally situated across from Marin Waldorf School and near Lucas Valley Elementary and Miller Creek Middle School. Timeless architecture, modern sophistication, and an extraordinary setting. California Eichler living at its finest!

Marinwood, located between Miller Creek and Lucas Valley Road, is a residential and hillside Lucas Valley-Marinwood neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and oak-dotted open space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Marinwood Plaza area on Miller Creek Road, where a low-key strip of local shops and everyday errands sets the tempo. Community pillars include Marinwood Market, Marinwood Community Center, and the Marinwood–Lucas Valley Library. Streets curve along gentle slopes, with many homes oriented to ridgelines and valley views. Sidewalk strolls and bike loops connect to trailheads and playing fields, giving daily routines a outdoors-forward rhythm. The setting feels tucked into the North Bay’s greenbelt, with Highway 101 close by but visually buffered by trees and terrain.
