Tucked into the tranquil beachside community of Oxnard Shores, this updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a relaxed take on California coastal living and is a sanctuary where ocean breezes drift through windows and sliding glass doors, blurring the boundary between indoors and out. Just off Mandalay Beach Rd, this home is around 100 feet to the beach, accessible by the path from the back patio gate. Downstairs boasts an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area with fireplace, along with two bedrooms, each with their own slider to the sun-drenched back patio. The kitchen is modern with an effective space, complemented by stainless appliances and a unique JennAir hood-less downdraft stove. The full bathroom has newer tile flooring, plus an upgraded vanity with granite countertops-there's also an outdoor shower right outside the door. Upstairs, soaring beamed and vaulted ceilings create a dramatic yet welcoming living space, with fireplace, ready for your flex-room ideas. The primary suite has a large closet, low-lipped shower, and a dual-sink vanity. Enjoy either of the two balconies-perfect perches for morning coffee, sunset wine with peek-a-boo ocean views, or simply soaking in the salt-kissed air while the whisper of waves is your constant companion. Besides being just a stone's throw to the beach, what truly sets this home apart are the distinct outdoor spaces: a peaceful, stamped-concrete private patio courtyard, unique to the area and ideal for entertaining, plus the spacious back patio, perfect for catching some rays with a good book. Just one mile from the scenic bike and skating paths of Oxnard Beach Park-voted California's #1 beach by USA Today over the last two years running-this home offers prime access to acres of open grass space for picnics and BBQs, and a large pirate playground. Enjoy weekend Farmer's Markets, summer Concerts by the Sea, the Classic Car Show, and the festive Parade of Lights at nearby Channel Islands Harbor, now undergoing an exciting transformation with new restaurants, an additional large playground, boat slips, and dining spots. You're also just a short drive from the waterfront Seabridge complex, The Collection at Riverpark with Whole Foods, and Ventura's lively Main Street, Harbor Village, and pier. Perfectly situated between Santa Barbara and Malibu, this is your chance to embrace the seaside lifestyle-whether as a weekend getaway or a full-time retreat.
