A short bike ride or walk and you area at the BEACH or DOWNTOWN from this CHARMING mid-town Ventura Home. Built in 1926 this unique beach cottage style home feels like you are right at the water with the ocean breezes in the afternoons. Formerly a 1+1 in front with an open breezeway to a 2+1 in back, house now has enclosed hallway of glass looking out on the huge back patio/deck. Entire home is under one roof now, but still maintains access in the event someone wishes to use it as 2 separate residences. Kitchen upgrades include newer appliances, paint and beautiful Quartz countertops. Lovely original brick decorative fireplace in living room, wood floors and recessed lighting. The attached 2 car garage is finished and allows direct access to the house, plus 2 extra off street parking spots in drive. In the back of the home is a HUGE attached deck (low maintenance materials used) that gives the feeling of seclusion and privacy. Yard boasts lots of trees and shrubbery creating a real private oasis to enjoy when entertaining or just enjoying a quiet night at home. Desirable schools make this very great place for children. Restaurants and nightlife a short walk from your front door, makes this the perfect place to call your own!
