About This Home
As of September 2025Huge price improvement! Welcome to Smugglers Cove, one of West Oxnard's most popular neighborhoods, located just minutes from the beach. This beautifully updated two-story home exudes pride of ownership throughout. Major upgrades include a brand-new roof (2024), new fascia and gutters, fresh exterior paint and new dual-pane windows throughout. Step inside through the custom TM Cobb front door to discover luxury vinyl plank flooring downstairs, new interior paint and Hunter Douglas blinds for a stylish and cohesive interior. The living room with fireplace is located adjacent to the dining area which offers a tranquil view of the lush and spacious backyard. The reimagined galley kitchen boasts recessed lighting and added counter space while flowing into a convenient study nook between the kitchen and family room, perfect for at-home learning or remote work. Adjacent family room has large sliding doors that conveniently open to the backyard. A powder room downstairs is ideally located for guests. Upstairs, you'll find newer carpet, new closet doors in two bedrooms, two sizable guest rooms and a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and backyard views. The oversized garage features Epoxied flooring, and the side of the home offers RV access and parking. The private backyard is a true showstopper due to its size and features. A combination of grass, brick patios and decomposed granite give the yard dedicated spaces ideal for entertaining, relaxing or outdoor play. Cozy up in the spa while enjoying the mature landscaping and coastal breeze. All of this is located just minutes from Oxnard's stunning beaches, marinas, famous Sunday farmers market, shopping, dining and more. This is a rare opportunity to own an upgraded home in a highly desirable coastal community!
