Rare Super Eichler in Northgate

Welcome to 232 Clyde Drive, a true architectural gem in the heart of Walnut Creek’s Northgate neighborhood. This rare Gallery Model Eichler, thoughtfully designed by famed architect Claude Oakland and built in 1969, captures the essence of California mid-century modernism: clean lines, open space, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Part of a small enclave of “Super Eichlers” built by Joseph Eichler in the late 1960s, this model is one of the largest and most sought-after Eichlers ever constructed, set on an extra-wide lot to maximize both livability and privacy.

Step inside this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offering 2,308 square feet of single-level living (per tax records). At its core is a dramatic atrium entryway, a signature Eichler element that floods the interior with natural light and sets the tone for the home’s spacious, light-filled layout. The interior features a gourmet kitchen with a large island, Thermador appliances, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and remodeled bathrooms that blend luxury and functionality. Polished concrete floors and radiant in-floor heating elevate the space with both modern flair and comfort. More details in our Super Eichler Video (also shown below)

Step outside and enjoy a resort-inspired backyard designed for California living. Relax by the sparkling swimming pool, soak in the spa, or gather around the built-in fire pit beneath the stars. Multiple decks, al fresco dining areas, a pergola, and a stunning cactus garden offer both visual appeal and serene functionality. Adding to the home’s versatility is a beautifully crafted, custom detached office or studio complete with mini-split HVAC—ideal for remote work, a creative studio, or a peaceful guest retreat.

The Northgate neighborhood offers the perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility. You're just minutes from parks, shopping, top-rated schools, and outdoor recreation. With easy access to Oakland, San Francisco, and major commute routes, this home delivers both privacy and convenience in one of the Bay Area’s most desirable communities.
