‘Incredible Design’: Bespoke Midcentury Beauty in SoCal Hits the Market for $4.5M

A spectacle of modern design in a gated Thousand Oaks, CA, enclave is on the market for $4,495,000.

The meticulously crafted home epitomizes sophistication and convenience. It’s situated in Los Robles Hills Estates, a planned community loved for its location and the thoughtful design of its 28 custom-built homes.

This one, at 489 Oak Creek Drive, has four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 5,774 square feet. It was built in 1975 by architect Clemens Kaasman, known for working closely with American architectural icon John Lautner.

Michael LaMontagna, one of the home’s listing agents with The Beverly Hills Estates, says the abode’s bespoke nature and its accessible location make it an ideal perch for a busy executive—one who values easy and elegant living that’s not far from the office.

LaMontagna is listing the home with wife Alexis LaMontagna and her mother, Jade Mills.

“The ideal buyer would be one of the many executives working among the vast group of corporate headquarters along Agoura Road,” LaMontagna says. “You have high-level architecture, incredible design, and a short commute.”

The home is nestled on a 1.2-acre lot, with panoramic views of the Santa Monica Mountains, and invites the outdoors inside with an open-concept layout and plenty of natural light.

Lovers of California-modern design will appreciate the terrazzo floors, Chicago brick, floor-to-ceiling windows, and Fleetwood sliding doors.

Step inside the estate

Those sweeping mountain views, along with glimpses of the property’s lush gardens, await just outside the door. The remodeled kitchen offers top-of-the-line appliances, and the roomy interior includes a breakfast nook and bar.

The kitchen is perfectly equipped for entertaining and gourmet culinary adventures.

A light-filled den, formal dining room, an office, a living room, media room, and library also fan out around the single-level layout.

Take a look outside

An enclosed patio and a covered patio provide inviting options for outdoor leisure.

The pool is set like a turquoise jewel in the classic, California-style minimal hardscaping and meticulous landscaping. Plus, the pool area is outfitted with a spa and sauna.

The spacious, three-car garage and six open parking spaces are just waiting for guests (or a swanky auto collection).

There are also numerous parks and hiking opportunities, premier dining, shopping, and nightlife nearby. The Westlake Village of Malibu is also convenient.

‘Impeccable condition’

“This home is a clear representation of the classic Los Angeles, midcentury modern architecture,” says LaMontagna. “The sellers are just the second owners of the property, and they have kept it in impeccable condition inside and out.”

In recent years, an estimated $1 million in renovations have restored and upgraded key design elements, which now include a vast, geometric skylight and brick posts in the living room.
