A 1964 Eichler home by A Quincy Jones is refreshed in Thousand Oaks

Ellsworth Court is a paean to SoCal modernism

Built in 1964 as part of the Eichler-304 subdivision in Thousand Oaks, this post-and-beam house forms part of Joseph Eichler’s final single-family development. Designed by A Quincy Jones of Jones & Emmons, the structure retains the defining language of the California modernist tract house, including tongue-and-groove redwood ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glazing.

Originally configured as one of the larger five-bedroom models, the house was expanded over several years by approximately 800sqft, reorganising the plan into two distinct wings linked by a central living space. The redwood ceilings have been hand-sanded, while Venetian plaster walls introduce a subtle tonal shift against the timber. In the kitchen, Taj Mahal quartz surfaces sit alongside custom cabinetry, a Wolf six-burner range and integrated Sub-Zero and Miele appliances. Porcelanosa tile, Farrow & Ball paint and solid oak doors with rain glass continue the restrained material register.

Outside, a redwood pergola and Brazilian ipe decking extend toward a saltwater pool relined in Italian Stella Bianca marble. The house sits on a 13,068sqft lot within Ventura County’s only Eichler tract — a neighbourhood long recognised by preservation groups and the Society of Architectural Historians.

It’s listed with Nina Kurtz of Compass with the price on application.
