Coming Soon: 1718 Eleanor Dr, San Mateo — An Authentic Eichler Home

If you love Mid-Century Modern design, there’s something truly special about an Eichler home. And now, a rare opportunity is coming soon to San Mateo: 1718 Eleanor Drive.

Built in the 1950s by visionary developer Joseph Eichler, these homes were inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s philosophy, emphasizing light, openness, and a seamless connection to nature. Eichlers are instantly recognizable for their flat or gently sloped roofs, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and central atriums that bring the outdoors in.

At 1718 Eleanor Dr, these features come to life. Sunlight flows through the open floor plan, filling the home with warmth, while the atrium creates a calm, private space at the heart of the home. With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and classic Eichler details preserved throughout, this residence is a perfect example of California modern living.

San Mateo has long been a hub for Eichler enthusiasts. Its neighborhoods offer a strong sense of community, access to parks, and proximity to both San Francisco and Silicon Valley — making it an ideal location for homeowners who value both lifestyle and design.

An Eichler is more than just a house; it’s a way of living. The open layouts, indoor-outdoor flow, and natural light create spaces that feel alive, serene, and deeply connected to everyday life. For those who appreciate architecture with soul, this is a rare opportunity.

1718 Eleanor Dr, San Mateo is coming soon — a true Eichler classic, thoughtfully preserved and ready for modern living.
