This four-bedroom, three-bathroom, 2,352 square foot home is a stunningly-transformed mid century modern Eichler in sunny, convenient Terra Linda.
This home was expanded and essentially rebuilt as a forever dream home. No expense was spared and great care was given to ensure that every design decision maintained or enhanced Eichler’s vision for an indoor/outdoor lifestyle, privacy, and a minimalist aesthetic. The result is as close to a brand new Eichler as you’ll find.
A private courtyard with a built-in bench, fountain, soft plantings and a stepping stone path leads to the glass front door. Upon entering, you’ll be surprised by how light, warm and spacious the home feels. Light pours in from nine-foot high walls of double-pane glass. Hand-rubbed African mahogany paneling provides warmth. The kitchen, living room, family room and dining room have distinct spaces that coexist in the 1,000+ square foot great room. High ceilings and unobstructed views of the yard and Terra Linda hills in every direction add to the expansive feel. It is completely unexpected. And it is breathtaking.
The kitchen features a full suite of ultra-premium Gaggenau appliances, a wine refrigerator, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops and a 14-foot island that seats six comfortably. This is the command center of the home and has sight-lines to nearly every indoor and outdoor space on the property.
Views in every direction make the serene and spa-like main bedroom suite a gorgeous retreat, complete with warm mahogany walls, more floor to ceiling glass windows and doors, and large walk-in closet. The main bath has double sinks, zinc cabinets with tons of storage, Italian Carrara marble counters, an oversized rain shower, and mahogany accents that warm the space. It’s truly resort-style living.
The second and third bedrooms are light and bright and have great storage, one with a second walk-in closet. The 4th bedroom is especially large and bright and could serve as an exceptional home office, guest room, art studio, yoga studio, or bedroom for your favorite child.
The second and third full baths are not afterthoughts. They have sexy cabinetry, Italian Carrara marble countertops and luxurious showers, one with a soaking tub.
As stunning as the inside of this home is, it’s all oriented toward the resort-style backyard that encourages indoor/outdoor living. Over 50 continuous feet of floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors provide views and access from nearly every room to a row of mature olive trees that delineate outdoor spaces for lounging and entertaining. It's mid-century meets Napa and is perhaps even more beautiful at dusk as you look back into the house from the fire-pit area.
The private corner lot features a wrap-around lawn, a mature fig tree, a mature persimmon tree, two meyer lemon trees, and all new landscaping and irrigation.
Location. Location. Location! The home is located moments away from the Terra Linda Community Center and pool, the beloved Scotty’s Market, and outstanding open space that rings the property. It is zoned for the top-rated Miller Creek School District and is minutes to local dining, shopping, and the 101 freeway.
Whether you’re looking for a spacious, turn-key home to raise your family, seeking to downsize into a sophisticated, low maintenance one-level home with room for friends and family, or simply want a space to comfortably and elegantly entertain large groups, 710 Penny Royal is the perfect offering.
The beauty of this home is definitely more than skin deep with its extensive list of new systems and improvements. All you need to do is turn the key and enjoy! No expense was spared to construct this home the right way -- as if Eichler were building with today’s modern materials with discerning buyers in mind.
