There are roughly 900 Eichlers in Terra Linda. This one is not like the others.
In 2002, this Eichler was taken down to its bones and rebuilt from the ground up. Not renovated, but reconstructed entirely, with ceilings raised to 12 feet, systems replaced, and every finish chosen deliberately. Step inside and the atrium greets you with a skylight that opens, mature plants growing in built-in planters, and warm wood floors that run the length of the space. From there, the house opens into one generous, light-filled room where the living area anchors around a dual-mode fireplace and a wall of glass looking out to the backyard and the surrounding open space, and the kitchen with a 48" Miele range, dual wall ovens, custom 72" cabinetry, and quartz counters wrapped in windows with garden views in every direction flows naturally off it. Lutron lighting, whole-home surround sound, heated bathroom floors, instant hot-water heater, Toto fixtures, Baldwin hardware, copper pipes, and trim throughout. The craftsmanship here is the kind that reveals itself slowly, long after you've moved in.
Outside, a mature palm anchors a private patio with hill views and a bocce court. The neighborhood matches the house in ways that are hard to manufacture. Terra Linda is where residents voted in 1975 to permanently preserve the surrounding hillsides rather than develop them, where Lou's Takeaway sells out before noon, where Scotty's Market has been on the same corner since 1957, and where the community pool, the trails, the elementary schools, and Highway 101 are all within a few minutes of each other. It is the kind of place people discover and quietly decide never to leave.

Living the San Rafael Lifestyle
There's something particular about life in Terra Linda — wide, quiet streets, hill views in every direction, and a neighborhood that has quietly resisted the urge to become anything other than itself. Mornings start with a walk to the trails at the Terra Linda-Sleepy Hollow Preserve. Afternoons end at the community pool or with a pickup order from Lou's Takeaway, if you called early enough. Scotty's Market has been on the same corner since 1957, LoCoco's handles Friday night pizza, and The Monk's Kettle is where neighbors actually run into each other. The elementary school is walkable, Highway 101 is minutes away, and San Francisco is 21 miles down the road when you need it.
