599 Dawn Dr, Sunnyvale

Sophisticated Contemporary Eichler in Coveted Sunnymount Gardens / Las Palmas Park

Discover timeless mid-century modern design reimagined for today’s lifestyle in this exquisitely remodeled single-story Eichler residence, located in one of Sunnyvale’s most desirable neighborhoods. Offering 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a separate executive office, and approximately 2,749 square feet of thoughtfully curated living space, this home blends iconic architectural character with upscale, contemporary upgrades.

Originally built in the mid-century era and reimagined by noted firm CAL Design Architects, the home has an effective age of 2003, reflecting a comprehensive renovation that honors the original spirit while embracing today’s modern expectations. Designed with intention and rooted in the principles of Sarah Susanka’s The Not So Big House, the layout prioritizes comfort, functionality, and effortless flow between shared and private spaces.

A welcoming front entrance sets the tone with a covered porch, modern fireproof concrete siding, custom double doors, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and designer sconces. Upon entry, you're greeted by a formal living and dining room featuring Hardwood Red Oak flooring, cathedral-style beamed ceilings, clerestory windows, and track lighting—elegant yet warm, ideal for hosting or relaxing. Just beyond is a great room offering vaulted ceilings, a skylight, clerestory windows, a built-in speaker system, and a custom built-in entertainment center, creating a dramatic yet inviting open-concept space with seamless access to the outdoor living areas.

The gourmet kitchen is a modern masterpiece—anchored by granite slab countertops, tile backsplash, sleek red birch cabinetry, a premium GE Monogram refrigerator, and a professional-grade six-burner Wolf gas range. A casual dining area and a nearby guest bathroom with a round porthole window, pedestal sink, and shower round out this vibrant living core.

The executive office features custom-built-in cabinetry, two desks, designer carpeting, track and recessed lighting—an ideal space for work or study. 

The grand primary suite serves as a true retreat, complete with a California Closets–designed walk-in closet and a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring dual vanities, an oversized step-in shower with a bench, and his-and-hers showerheads. Three additional spacious bedrooms—all with designer carpeting—are served by a full hallway bath with double sinks, skylight, and tub/shower combo.

Every detail throughout reflects refined quality—Hardwood Red Oak flooring in all main living spaces, dual-pane Andersen windows and sliders, copper plumbing, recessed designer lighting, a 200-amp electrical service, leased solar panels, and a high-efficiency furnace ensure both beauty and performance.

Outside, the backyard is an entertainer’s dream. Professionally landscaped and thoughtfully designed, it includes flagstone hardscape, a built-in Lynx barbecue with warming drawer, sink, beverage refrigerator, and storage. Additional highlights include granite countertops, a wet bar off the house, a pergola-covered patio, a wraparound bench with fire pit, integrated planters, and a lush lawn that extends to a generous side yard with a storage shed.

An oversized two-car garage with epoxy floors and storage cabinetry completes this incredible offering. A well-appointed mudroom off the garage includes a built-in bench and coat rack for added functionality. Down the hall from the mudroom is a full-size laundry area with upper cabinetry. 

Set on a peaceful, tree-lined street just steps from Las Palmas Park and walking/biking distance from top-rated Cumberland Elementary, Sunnyvale Middle, and Fremont High schools, and convenient to Caltrain, downtown Sunnyvale, and major tech corridors (Highways 85, 101, 237, and 280), this residence offers a rare blend of architectural integrity, modern luxury, and functional livability.
