Monte Sereno Eichler & Mid-Century Modern Home Experts Redefining Silicon Valley Real Estate

Founded in 1998 by Eric and Janelle Boyenga, the Boyenga Team has spent over two decades redefining modern real estate across Saratoga, Los Gatos, and the greater Silicon Valley. As founding partners at Compass, Eric and Janelle have built one of the Bay Area’s most design-driven real estate brands — a trusted name synonymous with Eichler expertise, architectural marketing, and luxury Saratoga home representation.

Monte Sereno Eichler & Mid-Century Modern Specialists with Proven Results

As Monte Sereno Eichler Home Experts, the Boyenga Team is the go-to resource for homeowners and buyers who value mid-century modern design, architectural integrity, and neighborhood insight. Beginning with the historic Via Sereno enclave off Winchester Blvd designed by Claude Oakland for Joseph Eichler, Eric and Janelle’s deep understanding of the city’s architectural fabric gives their clients an unmatched edge.

Their marketing approach fuses architectural storytelling with data-driven pricing strategy and Compass’s national technology platform to maximize every listing’s visibility and value. Through programs such as Compass Concierge, Private Exclusives, and HomeLight Buy Before You Sell, Monte Sereno sellers benefit from strategic renovation guidance, world-class presentation, and targeted digital reach across Silicon Valley’s most qualified buyer pool.

Monte Sereno’s Hidden Mid-Century Modern Gems

While Monte Sereno is best known for wooded estate properties and serene, view-laden parcels, a few small enclaves keep the spirit of California Modernism alive.

Via Sereno Eichler Enclave (off Daves Ave/Winchester Blvd) — a rare mid-1960s pocket of authentic Eichlers by Eichler Homes’ architects (Claude Oakland & Associates and Jones & Emmons). Expect post-and-beam structure, radiant-heated slabs, atriums, clerestory windows, and signature walls of glass that dissolve the boundary between indoors and out.

Daves Avenue Moderns (scattered lanes near Los Gatos border) — intimate clusters of custom mid-century ranches with broad eaves, open-beam ceilings, and garden-facing plans tailored to Monte Sereno’s oaks and gentle slopes.

Hillside Ranch-Moderns (quiet cul-de-sacs across town) — late-1950s/’60s homes that blend mid-century modern bones with Japanese-influenced landscaping and low, horizontal profiles—private, nature-centric, and timeless.

Whether representing a preserved Via Sereno Eichler, a sensitively revitalized mid-century ranch near Daves Avenue, or a custom Japanese-influenced retreat tucked into the trees, the Boyenga Team brings deep architectural fluency to every Monte Sereno transaction.

Silicon Valley’s Property Nerds and Next-Gen Agents

Known as Silicon Valley’s Property Nerds and Next-Gen Agents, Eric and Janelle Boyenga blend creativity, technology, and architectural insight to redefine the real-estate experience. Each home is presented not merely as a listing, but as a story, lifestyle, and design legacy.

From cinematic videos and twilight photography that showcase Monte Sereno’s post-and-beam silhouettes, to AI-driven analytics and hyper-local SEO that amplify online reach, their design-forward marketing ensures every Monte Sereno or Los Gatos property stands apart within Silicon Valley’s competitive luxury market.
