I was excited to participate in a recent interview with ENGINE Magazine, a high-end Japanese publication which caters primarily to a men's audience interested in fashion, style, automobiles, and more. As a point of reference, the magazine is similar to GQ or Esquire magazine in the U.S.

The October 2008 issue of ENGINE Magazine featured an article on mid-century modern homes in the United States. The article discussed the availability (and relative affordability) of these home throughout the United States, with a particular focus on modernist homes in California.

Of particular interest to the publication was the wide availability of modernist residential architecture in Northern California. In particular, mid-century modern Eichler homes which offer good design at an affordable price (at least by San Francisco Bay Area standards)! These particular homes offer many San Francisco Bay Area residents the ability to live modern in Marin at a very reasonable price.

While I've always been keenly aware of modern homes in Marin and mid-century modern homes in San Francisco, it's always great to see that my passion for these homes is shared by others across the country and outside of the country!

If modern homes are your thing, please contact me to let me know how I can assist you with your modernist real estate needs in either Marin or San Francisco County. I look forward to working with you!

I just helped my Marin County home buying clients purchase this charming bungalow in Northern Marin located at 660 Sunset Parkway in Novato, California.

This well maintained 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom single-family property was built in '61 and has been well preserved by its owners. Close to schools, shopping and public transportation, this conveniently located home has an open and airy floorplan and great outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining. Fabulous upgrade potential for this midcentury home in Novato.

Sale price for 660 Sunset Pkwy was $445,000 and represents an excellent value for the area. Please contact me at 415-342-4537 if I can assist you with the purchase or sale of your home in Novato or elsewhere in Marin County, CA.
