3701 Gainsborough Dr Concord, CA 94518

Built by celebrated developer Joseph Eichler and designed by renowned architect Claude Oakland, this quintessential mid-century modern home is located in the iconic Parkwood Estates. Positioned on a level quarter-acre lot, the desirable atrium model retains many of its beautiful original details, including rich mahogany paneling, pristine unpainted tongue-and-groove ceilings, signature lighting fixtures, vintage built-in wood shelving and cabinetry, and walls of floor-to-ceiling glass that fill the home with natural light. With over $175K in seller improvements, thoughtful updates provide modern comfort while respecting the home’s original character. Highlights include newly installed VCT flooring, a state-of-the-art TPO roof with 13 years remaining on its transferable warranty, an updated kitchen with a generous pantry and new refrigerator, updated bathrooms, upgraded main and sub electrical panels, double-pane picture windows, and efficient mini-split systems for heating and air conditioning. The home is also equipped with an extensive collection of smart-home features, including Google Home video cameras, doorbell, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, smart lighting, Ring home security enabled, and a Samsung Bespoke AI washer and dryer in the bonus room. The backyard is a true showstopper, centered around an immaculate saltwater pool with a Baja shelf, built just two years ago. The beautifully finished outdoor space features a new TimberTech deck, brand-new pergola, drought-tolerant landscaping, fresh mulch with new metal edging, Corten steel garden walls and planters, low-maintenance turf, updated fencing, an in-ground drainage system and irrigation. Plus, there’s plenty of room for a dog run or space to dream up future possibilities such as a potential ADU. Just moments from the community park with tennis courts, soccer fields, trails and more, and only 10 minutes to BART with convenient access to major freeways. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a move-in-ready Eichler that preserves the architecture as originally intended while thoughtfully bringing it into a new generation of modern living.
