Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1939, this home is well-maintained but significantly dated. The kitchen and bathroom feature older tile countertops and vintage cabinetry. While the original hardwood floors add character, the presence of older wall heaters, basic light fixtures, and a lack of recent major renovations indicate the property requires updates to meet modern standards.
The property is located just 0.12 miles from Ventura High School and within a short distance of Cabrillo Middle School, making it an ideal location for families prioritizing educational access.
With a 5,227 square foot lot and a relatively small 932 square foot footprint, there is significant room for outdoor living improvements, landscaping, or a potential ADU/home expansion.
Built in 1939, this residence offers the character and architectural integrity typical of vintage Ventura homes, appealing to buyers looking for a property with historical soul and renovation potential.
At only 932 square feet with a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration, the home may feel cramped for modern buyers or those requiring additional space for a home office or guests.
Given the 1939 construction date, the property likely requires updates to major systems such as plumbing, electrical, and insulation to meet current energy efficiency and safety standards.
