Built in 1941 (85 years old).
Condition: Built in 1941, this home is well-maintained with refinished hardwood floors and mostly dual-pane windows, indicating regular upkeep and some updates. However, the kitchen features original tile work and older appliances, and the bathrooms, while clean, are also dated in style and fixtures. Major components are functional but show clear signs of being outdated, requiring minor to moderate updates for modern appeal.

About this home

Sought-after midtown Ventura Cunhane Tract home, rich with history and charm. Built in 1941 by the current owner's grandparents and owned and maintained only by immediate family ever since, this classic residence features beautiful refinished hardwood floors and original tile work in the kitchen. The light-filled kitchen and mostly dual-pane windows add modern comfort while preserving timeless character. A separate studio with 3/4 bath is attached to the two-car garage, with an additional workshop and storage room--originally a darkroom--offering flexible use and potential ADU possibilities (buyer to verify with city). The spacious backyard is thoughtfully divided into two sections, complete with garden area and a playhouse or storage shed. Set on a quaint, tree-lined street close to schools, shopping, parks, and Ventura's beautiful beaches.
