A case of déjà vu with this one. Another 1965 Claude Oakland ‘gallery model’ in the Sequoyah Hills neighborhood, just up the street from the one we posted a few weeks back. And it’s another beautiful example, with most original Eichler details intact.
4 beds/2 baths, over 2400 SqFt, with large living area, small office, and laundry/utility. All the mahogany has been painted, but still plenty of wood on show –interior siding is stained, and original pickle-wash ceiling untouched. It feels balanced, but we’d prefer stained paneling and painted siding.
Spinning around, here’s the living area, and a glimpse of the views this home enjoys. The fireplace is unpainted, and a lighter color than traditional Eichler red brick, more common during this mid-sixties era. The skylights are original. The track lighting isn’t, and some globe lights have been sacrificed.
Another all-original kitchen, with cabinets, counters, and appliances intact. Globe lights still in here.
Matching cabinets and original sink/faucet in both bathrooms. This one (the guest) has outdoor access.
Three compact bedrooms, plus this master, with slider access to the backyard, and half-decent views.
Speaking of which, how about this? The lot is relatively compact (8806 SqFt) but with this view who cares?
If you get bored of the San Francisco Bay/skyline, you can always look back at the house. Not bad, eh?
Offered for $950K by Henry Jeger, of Jeger Real Estate. More pics/deets here. Unsurprisingly, it’s another Redfin “Hot Home”. If you want it, you’d better get on it. Open house Sunday, April 2, 2-4pm –if you make it, do let us know what you think.

What a lovely home and what a fantastic view. Eichler certainly knew where to build. It looks so serene and comfortable too. Thanks for another very interesting post.

Yes, agree on both counts, Tony. This is certainly one of the the more impressive locations Eichler built. The views from the Greenridge neighborhood (Castro Valley) are similar. Some of the backdrops in Lucas Valley (Marin County) and the Highlands (San Mateo) are also impressive, along with some SoCal neighborhoods. Oh, and there are some larger models with even closer coastal views in Mill Valley (also Marin).
