Among the most admired Eichler enclaves in Redwood City, 1186 Lyons Street stands as both an architectural treasure and a thoroughly modern home. Situated in the **Fairwood Tract—known locally as the Lyons Street Eichlers—**this property blends Joseph Eichler’s hallmark design philosophy with carefully integrated updates that enhance comfort and livability. The result is a residence that delivers the best of mid-century modern design while supporting the pace of Silicon Valley life.
A Rebuilt Home with Purpose
Originally constructed in the mid-20th century during the rise of Eichler’s Bay Area developments, the home underwent a thoughtful rebuild and expansion in 2000. The updated design remains loyal to the clean lines, open volumes, and indoor-outdoor lifestyle that define Eichler architecture, while providing the space and amenities contemporary buyers expect.
With approximately 1,800 square feet, the home now includes four full bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths—a floor plan rarely found in original Eichler layouts. This expanded design offers the versatility families, professionals, and multi-generational households often seek.
Signature Mid-Century Modern Design
The interior immediately reveals its Eichler pedigree. Classic tongue-and-groove ceilings soar above open living spaces, supported by bold post-and-beam lines that create drama and definition.
