Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1957, the home is well-maintained but largely dated. While it features some modern improvements like dual-pane windows, newer wood-look flooring, and a partially updated bathroom, the kitchen is described as 'retro' with older cabinetry and appliances. The overall aesthetic and most systems appear to be over 20 years old, requiring modernization to meet current market standards.
Ideally situated in central Ventura, the property is within walking distance to Buena High School and Poinsettia Elementary, and offers convenient access to local markets, dining, and the harbor.
The lot features a long driveway with RV potential, a professionally installed 14'x17' enclosed patio, and a lush backyard with mature fruit trees and a gazebo, perfect for enjoying the coastal breeze.
The home includes significant value-add improvements such as dual-pane windows, recently updated bathrooms with a walk-in bath, and newer wood flooring throughout much of the floorplan.

A family home for over 60 years should tell you how great the opportunity for this charming property with so much potential is, in beautiful central Ventura! First off, the lot is located away yet still just a few homes away from Victoria and Telegraph with the front facing east and the back facing the coast. The home has tiled flooring in the kitchen leading out to the laundry and bathroom, (tile flooring in hallway bathroom). Carpeted bedrooms and patio room, newer wood flooring throughout the rest of floorplan and dual pane windows. Kitchen features a unique retro corner breakfast nook with adjustable table to slide right in! Above and below cabinets and drawer space with additional covered shelving and pantry right next to where the laundry room is located. The laundry room has shelving and above cabinets, and the door takes you to the backyard. Bathrooms recently updated, one with a walk-in bath. The 14'X17' enclosed patio was professionally installed with sliding windows and electrical outlets. And a small additional covered patio section takes you into the backyard. Previous owner grew tomatoes, squash, cucumbers and green beans. There is a productive peach tree and berries that will be ready for harvest in the summer. Enjoy the coastal breeze while relaxing under the gazebo in peace. The house is surrounded by beautiful roses, landscaped and a nice long stretch driveway that has RV potential along with a big 2 car garage with cabinets. At night the view of the hill side is priceless! Conveniently close to markets, pharmacies, restaurants, schools and of course the harbor and coast! A great opportunity to add your very own personal touches and enjoy Ventura living!
