1542 Campbell Avenue | Thousand Oaks

Architecturally Significant Claude Oakland Eichler with Considered Modern Upgrades

A refined expression of California Modernism, 1542 Campbell Avenue is a Claude Oakland-designed Eichler that balances architectural purity with thoughtful, era-respectful enhancements. For the design-conscious buyer seeking both integrity and comfort, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence delivers on every level.

The home retains many of its original hallmarks: post-and-beam construction, radiant-heated aggregate flooring, and iconic walls of glass that frame the surrounding natural landscape. Carefully selected updates elevate the living experience without compromising the architectural soul.

The kitchen and bathroom vanities have been artfully reimagined by Able + Baker, featuring soft-close cabinetry and tilework that nods to mid-century style while offering modern durability. The bathrooms showcase both preservation and restoration: the primary bath is freshly retiled, while the second retains its vintage tile and original tub.

A foam-insulated ceiling, a new 200-amp electrical panel, and upgraded insulation on the south and west sides increase energy efficiency. All windows are now Milgard insulated double-glazed units, while the original Eichler-style glass walls and sliders remain intact. Skylights, ceiling fans, and excellent cross-ventilation ensure the home breathes with ease

Outdoors, the freshly re-plastered pool with new coping and acid-washed tile anchors a lush yet drought-conscious garden—complete with mature fig, olive, persimmon, lemon, and loquat trees. Drains, downspouts, and irrigation have all been upgraded, and the garden includes native plantings with an underground sprinkler system by local legend Luis the gardener.

Tech-forward features include built-in ADT security and Fios fiber optic internet. The home’s exterior has been recently painted in custom Benjamin Moore colors curated to complement the original architectural palette.

Located in a quiet, private enclave of Thousand Oaks, yet just under an hour from Los Angeles, this is a rare opportunity for the Eichler aficionado seeking authentic mid-century design, tasteful upgrades, and a tranquil indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
