I just sold a single family home located at 371 Devon Drive in San Rafael California.    Originally designed by Architects Jones + Emmons and built by Joseph Eichler in 1959, this Terra Linda Valley Eichler home featured:

• 4 bedrooms / 2 baths,
• Walls of glass witih central atrium,
• 1 car garage,
• a large relaxing swimming pool
• In floor radiant heat

The home was a cosmetic fixer which offers the new buyers fabulous upside potential.   The sale price was $600k.

While this Eichler home was just sold, I also have another active Eichler listing in San Rafael (located at 25 Bolanos) as well as a few additional Eichler listings that are currently being prepared for sale in Spring 2009.   Contact me for additional information!
