Mid-Century Non-Eichler
Mid-Century Eichler
This is a class of homes built throughout the Bay Area from the 1940s through the mid 1970s where it is prominent to see low-pitch or flat roofs, radiant heat systems built into the slab foundation, post-and-beam construction with open ceilings, and wood interior wall paneling. The most notable of these mid-century modern homes in the Bay Area is of course Joseph Eichler — and we host the premier web site dedicated to these homes at Eichler Homes.
This is a class of homes built within the last 10 years, where the architects and builders have paid close attention to green technologies, renewable materials, and modern design elements
of high ceilings with open living spaces and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Yes, a Mid-Century Modern townhouse! I have never been able to get confirmation that this is an Eichler built complex or not but it is a great find nonetheless. These single story units don't come on the market often and when they do they are a real find! Open beam with tongue and groove ceilings, sliders out to multiple patio areas, and globe lights of the period. A huge bonus is the great Sunnyvale schools, Cumberland ES, Sunnyvale MS, and Homestead HS — making it probably the cheapest entrypoint for a home going to these schools!

Not Mid-Century but totally modern for sure. Stunning is just the beginning. Multiple Nana Walls in various rooms including the detached studio. Awesome tarazzo floors with embedded radiant heat, double showers in the master bathroom, and a great mix of both wood and stone textures throughout. On the down side, the detached garage may be a turnoff for some folks but look at all the other benefits!

Originally from the East coast, I grew up and completed college in southeastern Massachusetts. After spending many years going through the ranks of a software company, I decided to challenge myself to take my life in a completely new direction — I moved to Taiwan! I lived there 4 years, learned to speak Mandarin, and had an “experience of a lifetime”.
I spent every day learning more and more about Asian culture; traveling to countries like Japan, Korea, Singapore, China, Australia, Indonesia, and Malaysia; and I grew particularly successful at cross-culture communication — understanding each other’s needs when English (or Chinese) is not your first language. I am grateful for the bonds I have throughout Asia that will last a lifetime.
I returned to the Bay Area in 2000 and shortly afterwards began to think there must be something more I can do to bring a deeper satisfaction through the work I do every day — 18 years in high tech engineering, management, marketing, and sales positions were preparing me for something new and something big. Sabrina introduced me to the endless opportunities in Real Estate.
I began to devour reading material from teachers and mentors, attending seminars and surrounding myself with successful people who have built great real estate businesses around the country. Gary Keller, founder of Keller Williams, the 4th largest network of real estate brokers in the US, opened the door to the opportunities awaiting Sabrina and I.
My Entrepreneurial Drive had been awakened! Sabrina and I formed a team under Keller Williams and “the mesh network” was born. Before you start to envy me, I have to tell you it takes a lot of courage to go from receiving a paycheck every two weeks to not knowing when the next paycheck will come. But that’s the risk I am willing to take in order for me to make the next step. My motto became “Believe and act as if it were impossible to fail.”
This is a good life – wake up in the morning all fired up for a purpose, knowing everything I do today will have big affect on other people’s life. I am passionate about finding great opportunities in real estate, playing tennis, squash, golf, and occasionally the drums; sharing wine and fine food; and an as-yet unfulfilled desire for Italian automobiles.
