Description

Tucked into Ventura's emerging Arts District and just one mile from the coastline, this inviting beach bungalow offers a relaxed, connected lifestyle close to everything that makes the area special. Ocean breezes, the nearby bike path to the beach and Ojai, and the creative neighborhood energy shape everyday living here.Inside, the two-bedroom, one-bath layout feels bright and uplifting, with vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light enhancing the home's open, airy character. Beautiful designer-selected finishes elevate each space, blending comfort with a polished coastal aesthetic. Mini-split HVAC systems provide efficient, customizable climate control--keeping the home cool in the summer and comfortably warm through the winter months.The kitchen showcases a timeless, classic design with marble countertops, matte black fixtures, and high ceilings finished in shiplap for subtle architectural charm. It feels both refined and relaxed--perfectly suited to the home's beachside setting. The bathroom offers a modern aesthetic with clean lines, thoughtfully selected materials, and finishes that add warmth and sophistication to the fresh, updated space.A solid wood entry door and privacy wall create a warm sense of arrival, while the private, enclosed driveway enhances both convenience and privacy. Outdoors, the backyard is designed for gathering and unwinding, with space to dine al fresco, a cozy fire pit area for evenings under the stars, and a storage shed for added functionality. Two Trex patios with pergolas provide additional areas for lounging or entertaining. The finished garage offers a Tesla charger and flexibility for hobbies, storage, or a creative workspace. Mature lemon, avocado, and orange trees complete the setting--an authentic slice of Ventura living just moments from the shore.
