Imagine what you could do with a nearly quarter-acre lot in the heart of Ventura... and a kitchen you'll fall in love with. With inviting spaces indoors and room to dream outside, this is a home for quiet afternoons, lively gatherings and big enough for all of your gardening plans.At its heart is a spacious remodeled kitchen, where quartz counters, updated cabinetry and generous storage meet a vibrant green backsplash that brings the garden's colors indoors. From here, the dining area is close at hand, and hardwood floors and a brick fireplace lend warmth to the living room. All on one level, the 1,426 SF home includes 4 bedrooms and 2 beautifully updated bathrooms. Need space for guests, working from home or something creative? You have options. A custom mudroom makes a handy landing spot for shoes and everyday essentials.Beyond the sliding glass doors, a covered deck catches fantastic afternoon shade--just the spot for dining al fresco or lingering with friends. Mature greenery and oak trees frame the expansive backyard on the 10,890 SF lot, creating a leafy sense of privacy. Pick figs and pineapple guava, tend the grapevine and raised herb bed, or enjoy a little backyard adventure with the substantial redwood fort and swing set. There's room to host parties, grow a bigger garden or explore possibilities for an ADU or hot tub, subject to applicable approvals.Practical improvements add everyday comfort: updated windows, an upgraded electrical panel, newer furnace and ductwork, added A/C, attic insulation, a tankless water heater and a replaced sewer lateral.
