748 Beechnut Court

Description

Tucked away at the end of a quiet, sun-dappled cul-de-sac, 748 Beechnut Court isn't just an Eichler it's a piece of Terra Linda history. Originally built in 1961 as one of only two spec homes on the court, the first owners immediately recognized the magic of the location, purchasing the adjacent lot to create an expansive, half-acre private oasis. For the last 55 years, the same family has lovingly stewarded this single level iconic property, hosting everything from graduation parties to weddings on its sprawling grounds. Spanning a rare 2,772 square feet, this is one of the largest Eichler models ever built. The layout is masterfully designed for both privacy and connection. On the south side, the primary suite serves as a true sanctuary, featuring a massive walk-in closet and a dedicated sitting room with a gas fireplace. Walls of glass on two sides invite the outdoors in, while sliders lead to a secluded, shaded patio perfect for morning coffee. Three additional bedrooms sit on the north wing, including two adjacent rooms with access to their own bathroom, as well as a junior suite with it's own bathroom, including a second door giving guests access to this washroom as well. At the heart of the home, the signature mid-century aesthetic shines. A private dining room sits beneath a massive skylight, adjacent to a galley kitchen outfitted with new appliances and period-correct cabinetry. The home flows effortlessly into a sun-drenched family room and a formal living area anchored by a library nook and a second fireplace. Both rooms open onto a sizable new patio that looks out over the hills, a vantage point that might just be the best seat in all of Terra Linda, rain or shine. The exterior is where this property truly transcends. Privacy is absolute as you move from the upper entertaining decks down to the vintage tear-drop pool and pool house. It's the kind of backyard that feels like a private park, offering space that is virtually impossible to find in a typical mid-century modern home. While the 1965 Buick Skylark is no longer in the driveway, and the owner's long departed turtle Macarthur hasn't freed himself and escaped in to the yard, the soul of this home remains perfectly intact. With radiant heat throughout and a large laundry room just steps from the bedrooms, the home is as functional as it is beautiful. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to step into a legacy property and start building your own memories on Beechnut Ct
