About This Home

As of October 2023

Looking for your very own 'Mojo Dojo Casa House'? Up your cool factor by a thousand as soon as you step inside this iconic midcentury modern 5 bed, 3 bath 1994sf house with one of the coolest zen vibes in Ventura. This highly sort after 12,065sf lot backs up to the lush barranca offering seclusion, an epic entertaining space, and pure bliss for the gardener in your life. The great floor plan, with original hardwood floors, flows effortlessly from the window-lined living room with brick fireplace, to the dining room and the stylish midcentury modern kitchen. They don't make solid wood cabinets like this anymore but this kitchen has been modernized with white quartz counters, new gas cooktop and a cool retro-inspired backsplash to match the era of the house. The primary suite addition radiates serious mojo. Huge windows frame the garden. You'll drool over the midcentury modern built-in dresser in the walk-in closet. And wait until you see the retro primary bathroom with floor-to-ceiling glass slider that opens to a private enclosed patio so you can commune with nature every morning and stargaze at night while showering. The 4 additional bedrooms are well-sized with original hardwood floors. One bedroom is currently open to the living room for use as a den or home office. The two additional full bathrooms have their own retro personalities and are very well-preserved. The spacious laundry room is located off of the kitchen and offers additional storage, a sink and access to the side yard. The large covered patio with angled ceiling is accessible from multiple areas of the house and offers shade, chilling-space and style to the backyard. The expansive backyard also offers a prolific avocado tree and an over-sized shed for additional storage or maybe transform it into a She-shed. There's room for an epic vegetable garden, a mean game of cornhole, or even a pool. The house is set back from the street with a large front yard (newly landscaped and mulched) that offers a ton of parking for cars, a boat, or RV (has an RV sewer hook-up!). Add an electric gate and you'll have your own Mojo Dojo compound. The two car garage would make a fantastic ADU. Owners have updated the furnace & ducting, electric panel and added solar (leased). This house is centrally located close to midtown and downtown Ventura. Coffee shops, Trader Joe's, and the mall are right down the street. The beach is a 5 minute drive away! Camino Real Park is just down the road. Come find your mojo!
