About This Home

As of November 2020

Located in Downtown Ojai, designed toward our California lifestyle. Originally a 2 bedroom + 1 bathroom, plus den, it is now used as a 3 bedroom. The detached garage built in 2006 is currently an office/guest quarters and could easily be converted into a legal ADU. The master bedroom leads to the backyard which is full of drought tolerant native plants, a vegetable garden and mature pomegranate tree. Enjoy dining al fresco under the covered patio, lounge on the Tea House platform deck and enjoy the mountain view in the heart of downtown. Easy access to farmer's market, the Arcade and more. The kitchen has been remodeled, there are newer windows and a newer roof.
