Rare Gallery Model Super Eichler

Step into a stunning slice of mid-century modern architectural history with this exceptional gallery model Eichler, thoughtfully designed by renowned architect Claude Oakland and built in 1969. Situated in the heart of Walnut Creek’s coveted Northgate neighborhood, this rare offering showcases the best of California modernism with timeless design, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and luxurious updates throughout. Joseph Eichler built a small neighborhood of Claude Oakland designed homes during the late 1960s in Northgate. Known as “super Eichlers”, these were some of the largest models ever built and sited on extra-large lots.

This beautifully designed 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom Eichler offers 2,308 square feet of stylish modern living (per tax records). At the heart of the home is a dramatic atrium entryway, a signature feature of Joseph Eichler’s architectural legacy. The interior is thoughtfully upgraded with a modern kitchen featuring a spacious island, Thermador appliances, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and remodeled bathrooms. Radiant in-floor heating paired with sleek polished concrete floors exude elegance and function.

The outdoor spaces, visible from every room, are nothing short of sensational. Lounge by the sparkling swimming pool, unwind in the spa, or gather around the built-in fire pit under the stars. Enjoy multiple decks, al fresco dining areas, a pergola, and captivating cactus garden that adds a sculptural and serene ambiance. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet sunset, this backyard is built for the California lifestyle. Adding to the home’s versatility is a beautifully designed custom detached office/studio with mini split, ideal for remote work, creative pursuits, or a peaceful guest retreat. It’s a perfect solution for today’s evolving lifestyle needs.

Northgate offers the perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility. You’re just minutes from shopping, parks, top-rated schools, and abundant outdoor recreation. With close proximity to Oakland, San Francisco, and major commute routes, this home offers both serenity and convenience in one of the Bay Area’s most sought-after communities.
