Property is moderate renovation needed.
While the home features excellent recent system upgrades—including a 2018 roof with solar and 2023 attic ducting/insulation—the core interior remains dated. The kitchen retains original-style 1970s cabinetry and tile countertops, and the bathrooms have only been 'refreshed' with new vanities rather than fully remodeled. At over 50 years old, the property is well-maintained and functional but requires cosmetic modernization to the kitchen and primary living areas.
Situated in a historic neighborhood near the Ojai Meadows Preserve, the property offers iconic 'Pink Moment' mountain views and immediate access to serene nature trails and gardens.
The home features a newer roof (2018) with solar panels and updated attic insulation and ducting (2023), providing significant utility savings and modern sustainability.
The thoughtfully landscaped grounds include a variety of mature fruit trees, such as apricot, peach, and mandarin, supported by an efficient, low-maintenance drip irrigation system.
