The Residence
A Visual Tour
Fourteen carefully composed frames of a home that has been kept, cared for, and quietly upgraded.
Set on an expansive 10,103-square-foot lot in the Rancho Conejo neighborhood, this warm and inviting single-story home blends comfort, function, and quiet upkeep. Four bedrooms and three baths spread across an easy single-level layout — no stairs, no wasted space, no friction — and the floor plan opens through a light-filled great room out to the backyard.
The kitchen has been kept in original character: solid wood cabinetry, tile counters, and the home's vintage double ovens preserved for serious baking. Newer black appliances, an electric cooktop, and a wide garden window over the sink sit alongside. The remodeled primary bath, secondary bath, and powder room bring modern finishes — marble-look tile, arched mirrors, black fixtures, dual vanities — without disturbing the home's grounded, lived-in feel. A newer water heater (under one year), added central air, refreshed paint, and refinished hardwood floors round out the work that has already been done.
Out back, the headline is a beautifully remodeled in-ground pool with a stylish gray bottom — the kind of pool that turns warm afternoons into easy weekends. Mountain views rise behind it, the lot is fully fenced, and a stamped-concrete patio gives a quiet stage for entertaining. A dedicated craft room (easily converted back to a fourth bedroom) sits inside off the hallway. Not far from the neighborhood park, the dog park, and the basketball courts; Aspen Elementary and Newbury Park High are minutes away.
Warm, inviting, and quietly considered — a single-story retreat where every detail has been kept, cared for, and quietly upgraded.

A grounded Conejo Valley enclave with parks at the doorstep and the 101 within easy reach.
Newbury Park sits on the western edge of Thousand Oaks, where the Conejo Valley begins to soften into open space and the Santa Monica Mountains step into view. The Rancho Conejo neighborhood is quiet and well-rooted — not far from the dog park and the basketball court, with schools that rate well across the board (Newbury Park High earns a 9 from GreatSchools). Groceries and coffee sit minutes away, and Highway 101 puts both Westlake Village and the coast inside an easy drive.
A few of the questions we hear most often from buyers considering Newbury Park and this corner of the Conejo Valley.
Newbury Park is a quiet, family-oriented community on the western edge of Thousand Oaks in the Conejo Valley. It's known for highly rated schools, easy access to the Santa Monica Mountains and Boney Mountain trails, mild year-round weather, and a low-key residential character with parks and dog parks woven through the neighborhoods.
Yes. The Conejo Valley Unified School District consistently ranks among the strongest in Ventura County. For 263 N Castilian Ave, the assigned schools are Aspen Elementary (rated 7/10 by GreatSchools, ~1.8 miles), Redwood Middle School (7/10, ~1.5 miles), and Newbury Park High School (9/10, ~2.8 miles) — one of the highest-rated public high schools in the region.
Highway 101 sits just a few minutes from this home, putting Westlake Village inside ten minutes, Calabasas in about twenty, and Santa Monica or West LA in roughly 45 minutes outside of peak traffic. The 23 freeway also offers a fast route north toward Simi Valley and the 118.
Newbury Park enjoys a classic Southern California Mediterranean climate — warm, dry summers averaging in the low 80s and mild, occasionally rainy winters in the 60s. The Conejo Valley sits high enough above sea level to stay several degrees cooler than the San Fernando Valley in summer, with clean ocean breezes filtering through most evenings.
Daily essentials sit within a half-mile — Walmart Neighborhood Market, Ralphs, Starbucks, and a stretch of casual restaurants along Borchard Road. The Promenade at Westlake and Janss Marketplace are both about ten minutes away, with full-service grocery, dining, and retail. The Lakes at Thousand Oaks adds a more upscale collection of restaurants and boutiques a short drive east.
The Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area is on the doorstep — Boney Mountain, Wildwood Regional Park, and the Sycamore Canyon trails all sit within a short drive and offer hundreds of miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian routes. The neighborhood itself includes a park, a dog park, and basketball courts not far from the home, and the Pacific coast at Point Mugu is roughly 25 minutes by car.
Yes. The home sits on an interior residential street in the Rancho Conejo neighborhood, lined with single-story homes on similarly generous lots. Traffic is local, and the dual-paned windows already installed throughout the home further insulate the interior from any street noise.
No. 263 N Castilian Ave carries no HOA dues and no association rules — full ownership of the lot and the exterior, with no monthly fees beyond standard property taxes and utilities.
