458 Camino Manzanas, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360

Quintessential iconic mid-century home built by famed mid-century builder Joseph Eichler and designed by Claude Oakland in 1964 known for "Bringing Modernism to the Masses" with walls of glass that epitomize indoor-outdoor Southern California living at its BEST! Eichler homes are highly-sought-after works of art, with very few in Southern California, let alone in Thousand Oaks, and very rarely for sale! Only four of this model exist in this neighborhood of over 100 homes. Dramatic post and beam construction with many original Eichler features plus the addition of a lovely 300 sf solarium attached to the kitchen and multi-purpose room in the courtyard with multiple skylights, perfect for year-round entertaining with treetop views. Easily removable to take home back to original, but a lovely useful addition. New block entry wall added in 2015 in keeping with original home specifications, adds great privacy to the compound. New metal entry doors with new Escutcheons and door hardware (to the specs of the original Eichler door hardware from 50+ years ago) completed in 2021 to undo a 70's facade renovation and return it close to the original design. Very private living, with not one window visible from the exterior of the compound which is all comfortably located behind secure private walls, gates and fences. Expanded courtyard entry is a fun surprise when the entry doors are opened. New kitchen in 2015 with Zebra wood laminate cabinets, high-end top of the line stainless Fisher-Paykel appliances and white Caesar stone counters with a waterfall. The kitchen and multi-purpose room also feature a countertop bar perfect for entertaining. Completely new open concept Master Bathroom completed in 2020 with high-end tile and contemporary fixtures and two skylights with an abundance of natural light and a new pocket door that saves valuable space. New mosaic tile, quartz countertop and sinks, flooring and faucets completed in hall bathroom in 2020, with original Eichler cabinetry, medicine cabinet/mirror and lighting maintained. Completely renovated pool, spa and new pond added (with three bubbler fountains) with LED colored lighting with period-appropriate mosaic tile and new patio, drainage and drought tolerant lush landscaping in 2015. New water heater and new automatic gas shut-off valve added for earthquake safety in 2021. New roof added in 2022. Beautiful serene mountain views of Tarantula Hill from the living room, dining room and private rear pool area. Private barbeque area off the kitchen is perfect for entertaining and al-fresco poolside dining. 3 mini-split Lennox air conditioning units added to home in 2016 for year-round comfort. Upgraded newer radiant heating system provides moist heat throughout the home through heated water in pipes in the slab, so much gentler than traditional forced-air heating. New radiant heating pump and boiler installed in 2010 and maintained annually. Five original skylights (plus four in the sunroom) bring natural light throughout. New carpeting in 2014 with new terrazzo tile in entry, hall, bathroom, kitchen, multi-purpose room and laundry room in 2020. New UV-rated double-pane windows added on the west side of the property for optimal temperature control. New skylights in the sunroom added in 2019. New roof in 2022. The private courtyard entry includes a Japanese style fountain with tropical specimen plantings and succulents all around the 9,100 sq. ft. lot. Landscape lighting lets you enjoy the picturesque grounds at night also. This home is located in a beautiful and convenient location in Thousand Oaks, just blocks from shopping, Los Robles Hospital, medical offices, restaurants, the Oaks Mall, Wildwood hiking trails, Paradise Falls, Cal Lu University and many other amenities and award-winning schools all with very convenient access to the 101 and 23 Freeways and Malibu beaches await just over the Canyon.
