Originally built in 1960 as the model home for a Joseph Eichler development in San Rafael, 28 Arcangel Way is still very much a model of everything Eichler.

It has almost every feature we think of today as being associated with the iconic mid-century modern developer: post and beam construction with an open floor plan and glass walls that help bring the outside in; a private atrium between the front door and the actual house; small, high windows in the front of the home and large windows or sliders in the back; Philippine mahogany paneling throughout; and sliding shoji-style closet doors.

Being in the home may feel like stepping back in time, but the current owners (one of whom is in executive management at Design Within Reach) have actually made some subtle updates, like a new foam roof, tile flooring, an updated radiant boiler, Nelson Bubble lights throughout, a newly tiled shower and tub and new water fixtures, a recently redone laundry area, a finished garage with built-in storage, and an alarm system.

“The current owners have mindfully thought about the importance of renovation vs. preservation and their upgrades have brought the home up to today’s living standards, while keeping the original integrity of this architectural gem,” according to the marketing site.

Speaking of original, the sale includes original landscape plans from famed mid-century landscape architect Robert Royston, calling for a pool on the .3-acre double lot, which backs up to preserved open space. No pool was ever put in, which left lots of room for a large lawn and courtyard right off the three-bedroom, two-bath home’s open-concept entertaining space. The home’s owners had designs on finally putting in that pool and doing some thoughtful updates to the all-original kitchen, according to an episode of “Dwell TV” that featured the home. But their plans were dashed by a recent work transfer to the East Coast, which means that they have to sell instead, asking $1.15 million.

Maybe the eventual buyers will be the ones to make the long-planned pool a reality. According to the marketing site, the owners are certainly hoping to sell to someone who will appreciate and maintain the historic home and its grounds.

“The legacy of this masterpiece will hopefully last for years to come, as the owners are ready to pass the torch to the new caretakers to enjoy its beauty and magnificence,” it says.
