416 Camino Manzanas, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360

The ''Double Gable'' Eichler - designed by A. Quincy Jones and Frederick E. Emmons - is one of the most coveted and uncommon floorplans ever built. Known as the OJ-1605 ''U-shaped'' model, it was reserved for extra-wide lots and offered only in a handful of Eichler communities. With its expansive footprint, 416 Camino Manzanas is not only one of the largest Eichlers ever constructed - it was also among the most expensive at the time, requiring a uniquely suited homesite to accommodate it.  Tucked away and shielded by the Conejo Open Space Conservancy on two sides, with just one neighboring property, this home offers an extraordinary sense of quiet and privacy than most - more reminiscent of a weekend retreat than an in-town residence. A one-car garage and adjacent carport enhance the feeling of seclusion, while the iconic atrium design anchors the indoor-outdoor lifestyle Eichler is known for. This particular layout includes the exceptionally rare 5-bedroom configuration.  Thoughtfully reimagined with reverence for the original, every detail has been meticulously preserved or artfully elevated. From walls of glass and new mahogany paneling to modern enhancements that quietly improve comfort without compromising character, the balance is impeccable. 7 individual mini-split AC units provide tailored climate control, while the original radiant heat system and boiler continue to perform just as Eichler intended.The kitchen is a modern showpiece - sleek in white and gray, with quartz countertops that echo the spirit of the original Formica but offer a more refined, contemporary finish. Smart updates - like converting the fifth-bedroom ''retreat'' into an office, and discreetly relocating the laundry from the hallway into a dedicated room - add thoughtful functionality to the home's timeless flow.  Even the atrium has a retractable awning!  Outside, the home fully embraces its connection to nature. An expansive elevated deck, canvas-covered patio, sculptural fountains, firepits, lush yard, and luxurious swim spa create a private sanctuary equally suited for quiet reflection or vibrant entertaining. As the sun sets, landscape lighting casts a warm glow across the property, transforming the space into something magical.Words can only go so far. This is more than a house - it's a design-forward experience, lovingly crafted and ready to be lived in. Whether you just bring your toothbrush or your peg-leg pants, your smoking jacket or your favorite Sinatra LP, one thing's certain: once you arrive, you'll never want to leave.Close to top-rated schools, Los Robles Regional Medical Center, great shopping, and the 101 freeway, 416 Camino Manzanas isn't just a rare Eichler - it may be one of the finest.
