Set on a generous quarter-acre lot in Lucas Valley’s coveted “Berries” Eichler enclave, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home is ready for transformation. Restore its mid-century character or reimagine it entirely—the setting and potential are undeniable, offering a rare chance to create your dream home in one of Marin’s most architecturally celebrated neighborhoods.
With no existing kitchen and systems in varying condition, the property is best suited for visionaries, design-minded buyers, or builders ready to start fresh. Whether your goal is to honor Eichler’s timeless style or to design an entirely new modern retreat, the canvas is wide open to bring fresh life to one of Marin County’s most beloved neighborhoods.
Surrounded by architecturally significant homes and framed by the dramatic backdrop of Lucas Valley’s hills, this is an opportunity to craft a new chapter of mid-century living in a community built on design, connection, and natural beauty. Adding to its promise, this excellent Marinwood location places parks, pools, and trails just minutes away, with Miller Creek’s award-winning schools nearby and an enviable midpoint between San Francisco and the Wine Country.
An exceptional setting, a storied neighborhood, and a rare blank canvas—this is more than a project. It’s the opportunity to design a home that reflects your vision, celebrates Eichler’s legacy, and embraces today’s lifestyle.
The Lucas Valley–Marinwood community, located in unicorporated Marin County, offers a rare blend of natural beauty, architectural heritage, and everyday convenience. Gently cradled by the surrounding hills of northern San Rafael, it’s a neighborhood that feels both tucked away and connected—just minutes from Highway 101 yet surrounded by protected open space.
Residents enjoy access to the nearby Marinwood Community Center and Park, with its pool, playgrounds, and year-round gatherings that foster an enduring neighborhood spirit. Miles of hiking and biking trails extend into Lucas Valley Open Space Preserve and Mount Burdell, offering a peaceful retreat right outside the front door. The area is served by the Miller Creek School District, valued for its engaged community and educational programs.
While the setting feels rural and relaxed, everyday essentials are close at hand. Terra Linda and downtown San Rafael provide shopping, dining, and services within a short drive, and weekend escapes to Sonoma Wine Country or the Marin coast are easily within reach. With its sunny microclimate, mid-century character, and welcoming atmosphere, the Lucas Valley–Marinwood area captures the quintessential Northern California lifestyle—where design, nature, and community meet in perfect balance.
