A Highlands Masterpiece: Where Mid-Century Soul Meets Modern Luxury at 2055 Ticonderoga Road
Imagine a home where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony. A place where clean lines and soaring glass walls don’t just frame the landscape—they invite it inside. Welcome to 2055 Ticonderoga Road, a stunningly updated courtyard-model Eichler that offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history in the heart of the cherished San Mateo Highlands.
The Soul of the Home: Timeless Eichler Design
This isn't just a house; it's a living piece of art. Joseph Eichler's vision of bringing the outside in is fully realized here. The home is built around a signature open-air courtyard, a private sanctuary that acts as an outdoor living room, perfect for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or dining under the stars.
Inside, the details sing. Soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings guide your eyes upward, while the iconic post-and-beam construction creates a dramatic sense of volume and space. The home’s most defining feature, its floor-to-ceiling walls of glass, dissolves the boundary between the interior and the lush, newly landscaped yard. These glass expanses don't just flood the home with incredible natural light; they frame sweeping, unobstructed views of the western mountains, creating a daily masterpiece of changing light and color.
The original floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace serves as a stunning and cozy anchor to the living space, while the preservation of original globe fixtures alongside new accent lighting pays homage to the home's authentic roots.
A Modern Touch for Effortless Living
This home seamlessly marries its mid-century soul with contemporary comfort. The recent updates have been thoughtfully chosen to enhance the Eichler aesthetic while providing modern functionality.
Brand new SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring flows throughout the home, offering the sophisticated look of hardwood with superior durability and water resistance—perfect for a busy household.
The updated kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring sleek, minimalist finishes, ample storage, and a full suite of new stainless steel appliances.
The flexible layout with two primary suites is a rare and highly sought-after feature. It provides ideal separation of space for multigenerational families, a luxurious guest suite, or a private and quiet home office wing.
All three bathrooms have been tastefully refreshed, continuing the home's clean and modern aesthetic.
