Step into a one-of-a-kind modernist residence in the heart of Sunnyvale’s Sunnymount Gardens—an enclave celebrated as the birthplace of Joseph Eichler’s signature post-war home designs. Located at 599 Dawn Drive, this thoughtfully updated Eichler home is a masterclass in reimagined mid-century design, expertly transformed by CAL Design Architects to meet today’s standards of luxury, comfort, and functionality.

🏠 Where Form Meets Function

Showcasing the essence of iconic mid-century architecture, this 2,700+ square foot home highlights essential Eichler features—clean post-and-beam lines, clerestory windows, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and a seamless integration between indoor and outdoor environments. The single-level floor plan has been expanded and optimized for the way we live today, offering:

  • A professional-grade kitchen with granite surfaces, a Wolf six-burner range, GE Monogram refrigerator, and custom red birch cabinetry
  • An inviting open-concept great room with a built-in entertainment center and speaker system
  • A spacious primary suite featuring a custom walk-in closet and a spa-style en-suite bath with dual vanities and a glass-enclosed shower
  • A fully equipped home office, full laundry zone, and an oversized garage with storage and epoxy flooring

🌿 Designed for Outdoor Enjoyment

The exterior living space has been professionally landscaped and tailored for entertaining, including:

  • A Lynx outdoor kitchen setup with grill, sink, and beverage refrigerator
  • Built-in granite wet bar and countertop seating
  • Pergola-shaded patio with a gas fire pit and wraparound seating
  • Grassy play area, mature plantings, and organized storage zone in the side yard

📍 A Prime Setting in a Historic Eichler Community

Sunnymount Gardens was Eichler’s inaugural development in Sunnyvale and remains one of the most architecturally cohesive neighborhoods in the region. Just around the corner, residents enjoy Las Palmas Park—a local favorite offering tennis courts, a playground, splash pad, dog park, and open green space for gatherings.

With convenient access to:

  • Downtown Sunnyvale and the Caltrain station
  • Major freeways (85, 101, 280, 237)
  • Tech giants like Apple, Nvidia, LinkedIn, and Google

🎓 Zoned for Top-Performing Schools
