About this home

Step into a timeless piece of architectural history with this Mid-Century Modern Eichler home, designed by visionary Joseph Eichler and inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. These iconic homes feature open, airy floor plans and innovative materials that create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Floor-to-ceiling windows, expansive living areas, and a private atrium offer natural light and tranquility. Clean lines and minimalist design echo Wright's influence, while vibrant exteriors and functional beauty give these homes a distinct modern flair.With fewer than 600 Eichlers in Southern California--and just over 100 in Thousand Oaks--this is ideal for creatives, innovators, and design lovers. An Eichler is more than a house; it's architectural art that connects you to nature and the California lifestyle.This dramatic Double-Gable Eichler sits on a rare elevated corner lot in a quiet cul-de-sac. Beautifully renovated to honor the original concept, it was envisioned by the acclaimed Jones & Emmons firm. Enter through the central atrium and experience expanded living spaces with soaring volume and light--true indoor/outdoor living in your own sanctuary.The spacious 5-bedroom layout includes an extra-large open living and dining area plus a dedicated laundry room for added functionality. Modern upgrades include a brand-new kitchen with stainless appliances and breakfast bar, and fully updated baths with a soaking tub and frameless glass showers. Every detail respects the home's mid-century roots while delivering contemporary comfort.Enjoy serene views of Tarantula Hill from the front and the expansive backyard. The setting is peaceful yet dramatic--perfect for those seeking a retreat with strong architectural identity. Move-in ready and ideally located near the 101 freeway, top-rated schools, premier shopping, dining, hiking, Wildwood Park, and the Santa Monica Mountains--just 30 minutes to Malibu and under an hour to Burbank Studios and Santa Barbara.Note: Pool and some backyard images are virtually staged.

Niche Market Appeal: The distinct Mid-Century Modern architectural style, while highly desirable to some, may appeal to a more specific buyer demographic, potentially limiting the broader market.
Virtual Staging of Key Features: The mention that 'Pool and some backyard images are virtually staged' indicates that these desirable amenities are not currently present, which may require additional investment for buyers expecting them.
Potential for Older Systems: As a 1964-built home, despite renovations, some original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, or lack of central air conditioning) may require future maintenance or updates not explicitly detailed.
