OUTDOOR KITCHEN AND FIREPLACE! Beautifully updated 3 bed, 2 bath Mid-Century gem on a quiet, tree-lined street just steps from K-12 schools and Ventura College. Set on a rare one-third acre lot overlooking the Arundell Barranca, this single-story home blends timeless design, modern upgrades, and lush landscaping. The spacious chef's kitchen features Corian countertops, custom cabinets, a center island, and a light-filled breakfast nook. The open floorplan flows into a bright living area with French doors and windows that frame views of the garden. Original wood floors add warmth throughout. Recent improvements include recessed lighting, a new heating system, tankless water heater, and R.O. water filter. Both bathrooms are tastefully updated--one with custom tile, the other with a granite countertop. But it's the outdoors that truly set this home apart. Designed by Halter-Encinas, the backyard is a private oasis with a red tile patio, outdoor kitchen with slate counters, built-in gas grill, fridge, sink, and fireplace. Stone paths wind through vibrant succulents, mature fruit trees, and flowering perennials. A smart irrigation system keeps it all thriving. Towering ficus and acacia trees provide privacy, while a hidden path leads to a tree-lined dog run. An ornamental plum and young strawberry tree add charm out front. Relax in the Hot Springs spa or gather with friends beneath the stars--this is more than a backyard, it's a private retreat. Centrally located between Los Angeles and Montecito.
