Welcome to 1295 Idylberry Road in prestigious Upper Lucas Valley. This expertly restored, Atrium model Eichler home has been meticulously modernized by its current owners while respecting Eichler’s design. Originally built in 1962, the home is beautifully sited on a deep, south-west facing lot boasting both privacy and ideal sun exposure. The post and beam construction, walls of glass and seamless building materials offer the true definition of indoor/outdoor living. Joseph Eichler's philosophy was to create a community of openness, simplicity and an integration with nature. Expertly achieved through modernist design, this house embodies some of his best work.
Enter the front door and you are welcomed by an open-air, landscaped atrium all framed by floor-to-ceiling glass that welcomes you into the home and beyond to the grounds. The living room features vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, clearstory windows and a stunning fireplace. The dining room also opens to the outdoors and is partially surrounded by custom, mahogany paneled walls. A completely remodeled kitchen integrates perfectly with the design, offering exceptional details throughout. A combination of custom cabinetry, high-end appliances and LED lighting, the kitchen is contemporary yet integrates into the home almost as though it was original. Adjacent to the kitchen is a casual living space easily used as either an additional eating area, or a family room, which opens to the atrium.
The primary suite has direct access to the outdoors- adjacent to the pool, spa and grounds. A generous walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom with a custom concrete and wood vanity complete this suite. There are three additional bedrooms that also share a bathroom with finishes consistent throughout the house. In addition to the bedrooms is a home office, which also opens to the outdoors via a panel of glass.
The home has been updated not only aesthetically but with efficiency and safety in mind. A new, highly insulated roof was installed in 2024. The walls were insulated, new skylights added, the radiant heat and hot water system was restored, pool equipment updated, much of the electrical system has been updated, an entire site drainage system was constructed and the house has been prewired for ultra high speed WiFi and hardwired performance.
To complete the picture, there is an attached, two-car garage, a fully fenced and professionally landscaped, automatically irrigated yard and a brand-new driveway.
The community of upper Lucas Valley offers amenities including a community pool, tennis / pickleball courts, a neighborhood playground and park. Located near open-space, hiking trails and horse stables and the Lucas Valley Elementary School all within close proximity to the 101.
A complete set of recent inspections and disclosures are available upon request.

Neighborhood
San Rafael still looks to the future thanks to a vibrant downtown redevelopment effort. Cuisine is eclectic: within a few blocks of 4th Street diners can find sushi, Indian, Thai, Italian, Mexican, and Puerto Rican food. Thursday afternoons in the spring and summer find 4th Street hosting a farmers market, which features live music.
The neighborhoods of San Rafael are equally distinctive. From the sought-after mid-century Eichler homes of Terra Linda to the Victorians that surround Dominican College and the custom homes of Lucas Valley, San Rafael provides diversity of price and style.
It's also easy to get away from it all in San Rafael. Nearby China Camp State Park is a jewel by the bay, offering: a kid-friendly, walk-in campground for tents only; a shallow, protected swimming beach; and biking and running trails.
