A rare Eichler home in San Anselmo's Sleepy Hollow neighborhood is available for sale, with an asking price of $2.75 million. This property, 5 Katrina Lane, is one of only 15 Eichler homes in its specific tract and is on the market for the first time since 2015. It represents a unique offering within Marin County, which has a high concentration of Eichler homes.
The 2,537-square-foot residence was designed by architect Claude Oakland, who was a prolific collaborator with Eichler. This home showcases Oakland's later career, featuring a mature and modern aesthetic characterized by extensive use of glass and warm wood throughout. The design floods the interior with natural light and creates a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
This four-bedroom, three-bathroom home has been carefully remodeled by its owners over the past 11 years, preserving its midcentury sensibilities while adding contemporary touches. The 16,000-square-foot corner lot includes a pool, solar power systems, and mature trees. The Sleepy Hollow location offers a secluded, wooded environment with access to trails and community amenities, further enhancing its appeal.
