An Expanded Eichler with Timeless Character
Nestled on one of Redwood City’s most charming Eichler-lined streets, 1186 Lyons Street offers a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully rebuilt and expanded mid-century modern home. Blending authentic Eichler design with modern-day comforts, this residence captures the best of both worlds: architectural history and contemporary living.
Modern Mid-Century Living
With approximately 1,800 sq ft of living space on a 5,709 sq ft lot, the home has been rebuilt and expanded to accommodate today’s lifestyle. Originally designed in the spirit of Joseph Eichler’s vision for light, openness, and connection to nature, this home now features four spacious bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, offering versatility for families, remote work, or guests.
The great room embodies Eichler’s philosophy of bringing the outside in. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows create an airy environment, filling the home with natural light and framing views of the backyard. A seamless flow between indoors and outdoors makes it perfect for both relaxed everyday living and entertaining.
A Kitchen for Connection
Designed with gatherings in mind, the kitchen combines granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a dining bar that encourages interaction while meals are prepared. The open layout connects to a generous dining area, complete with its own slider to the side patio for easy indoor-outdoor meals.
A Private Retreat
The primary suite at the rear of the home is a true haven. With direct garden access, a walk-in closet, and a remodeled bath featuring quartz shower walls and a contemporary vanity, it’s designed for comfort and privacy. Three additional bedrooms and a powder room near the entry provide flexibility for family, visitors, or workspace needs.
Outdoor Living at Its Best
The backyard of 1186 Lyons Street is a standout. An expansive stone patio and wide grassy area set the stage for outdoor entertaining, recreation, or quiet relaxation. Adding a unique twist, a Yurt offers endless possibilities—whether used as a yoga studio, meditation space, creative retreat, or children’s playroom, it’s a versatile addition that makes this property unlike any other.
