Property Description


0.00 Acres Lot
Built in 1926
For Sale - Active
Units n/a

Charming 1,232 sq ft vintage Spanish-style home with 2 bedrooms and 1bath, showcasing original built-ins, doorknobs, sconces and a claw-foottub. Rich wood floors complement the warmth and character. A cozy fireplace in the living room enhances the ambiance, making it an inviting retreat. There is an office, or possible third bedroom, delicately hidden away. From the deck, enjoy breathtaking sunset views over the Pacific and up the valley to the mountains of Ojai. Located in highly desirable West Ventura where Poli Street turns into Cedar Street, the house is a short stroll from the historic downtown, the beach, and cultural amenities. The house is on a hillside, extra-large 9,147 square feet lot, and is in a stunning location in one of Ventura's most sought-after and evolving neighborhoods. There is room to build a garage. The sewer lateral has been inspected with no repairs recommended.
