More Insights

Built in 1965 (61 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1965, has undergone significant and recent updates, making it move-in ready. The description explicitly mentions a newer roof, HVAC system, updated bathrooms, and newer kitchen appliances (stove and range hood). Images confirm these updates: the kitchen features white cabinets, dark countertops, stainless steel appliances (including a double oven and gas cooktop), and modern lighting, though the floor tile is a more traditional choice. Both bathrooms are well-updated with modern vanities, fixtures, and wood-look tile flooring. Hardwood/laminate flooring is present throughout the main living areas and bedrooms. While not a brand-new build, the extensive renovations and well-maintained systems place it firmly in the 'Good' category, requiring no immediate major renovations.

About this home

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers privacy, scenic views, and an ideal Ojai lifestyle. With minimal traffic, the street is perfect for bike riding, long walks, and peaceful everyday living. The home has benefited from numerous upgrades, including a newer roof and HVAC system, updated bathrooms, a newer stove and range hood, and washer and dryer--making it truly move-in ready. Enjoy sweeping mountain views from the living room and front porch, along with additional scenic outlooks from the front-facing windows. Chief Peak is perfectly framed at the end of the street, creating an iconic and unforgettable setting. Set above street level, the home feels private and secluded, enhanced by mature front landscaping that limits visibility from across the street. Deep eaves help keep the home cool during warm Ojai summers. The property also features thriving citrus trees--tangerine, lemon, and lime--with especially delicious tangerines. A detached garage offers potential for conversion to an ADU (buyer to verify). The hillside behind the home provides elevated views and future possibilities, overlooking an outdoor patio ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. Located just down the hill from the Ojai - to - Ventura bike path and Starbucks, the home is bikeable and walkable to Miramonte Elementary, a short drive to downtown Ojai, and offers convenient access to Ventura, Santa Barbara and of course the beach! A rare opportunity to enjoy comfort, views, and location in one inviting home.
