About This Home

As of November 2024

This 1920s Spanish Revival estate in Ventura's prestigious Hobson Heights neighborhood, which just celebrated its 100th anniversary, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history. This well-maintained home boasts 2,708 square feet of living space, featuring four bedrooms and two baths on a generous 11,761-square-foot lot. Built in 1926, this home has retained its original charm while incorporating thoughtful updates. The former owner, who lived here for 50 years, brought a touch of England to the property, adding beautiful brick walkways and fragrant rosebushes that evoke an English garden. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by views that capture the essence of California's coastal beauty. Imagine waking up to the sun rising over the town its golden rays spilling into the ocean and painting the sky with hues of pink and orange. From nearly every room, your eyes are drawn to the breathtaking panorama of the Channel Islands floating on the horizon, framed by the vibrant greens of the property's fruit orchard. The views from this home are nothing short of spectacular, offering a daily masterpiece of nature that culminates in sunsets of fiery reds and soft purples streaking across the sky. Inside, the upstairs living area includes an open dining room anchored by a cozy fireplace, a living room with these same sweeping views, and an oversized kitchen with solid wood cabinets. The primary bedroom is a retreat with an open seating area leading to a private balcony, where you can sip your morning coffee as the world awakens or unwind with a glass of wine as you watch the sun dip below the horizon. The two full bathrooms await your personal touch for a modern update. Outside, the magic continues to the large wooden deck, the perfect spot for evening dinners with the ocean breeze and bird song as your soundtrack. Host gatherings at the vintage brick barbecue area, surrounded by the lush backyard dotted with fruit trees. The gentle slope of the garden provides a serene backdrop for relaxation, and a separate workspace offers endless possibilities, from storage to a creative tinkering room / workshop. The home features newly updated furnace and ducting, electrical and plumbing improvements, a new sewer line, new interior paint, resealed raised walkway, reinforced retaining wall, and refinished oak hardwood floors. Marisol Drive is one of Ventura's most coveted streets. Don't miss the chance to make this home yours.
