About this home

This stunning one-story mid-century modern home is located in the coveted "Oaks" neighborhood of Santa Paula and is just minutes from the beaches of Ventura and downtown Ojai. Designed by renowned John Stroh of Wilson, Stroh & Wilson architects in 1957, the home has soaring ceilings, walls of glass, clerestory windows and original walnut paneling & cabinetry. The dining room features pocketing "Shoji" doors, a beautiful detail, as Stroh was known to incorporate Asian inspired features into his designs. The bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated with "penny-tile" floors while retaining their pristine, original tile-work counters & baths. The charming eat-in kitchen opens to the expansive rear terrace and deck. The property is nearly half an acre and sits amidst a perimeter of massive California Oak Trees with lawns front and back....creating a true park-like setting. Other details include two zones of heat & air, three water heaters, laundry/utility room and a large storage room at the rear of an over-sized carport. This is an exciting opportunity to own an architectural home in a prime location that's close to LA, Santa Barbara & so much more.

Condition Rating
Fair

This mid-century modern home, built in 1957, is exceptionally well-maintained and retains many desirable original architectural features. While major systems like heating and air conditioning are updated (two zones, three water heaters), the kitchen, described as 'charming,' appears functional but not extensively modernized with contemporary appliances or finishes. The bathrooms have been 'thoughtfully updated' with penny-tile floors, but explicitly retain 'pristine, original tile-work counters & baths,' indicating a blend of old and new, with some fixtures appearing dated. The concrete flooring throughout is durable and fits the style but isn't a recent 'new' installation. Overall, the property is move-in ready and well-preserved for its age, but the kitchen and bathrooms show signs of being outdated in terms of modern aesthetics and features, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of an aged but maintained home with functional major components that show signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Architectural Pedigree: Designed by renowned architect John Stroh, this mid-century modern home boasts unique features like soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and original walnut paneling, appealing to discerning buyers.
Desirable Location: Situated in the coveted 'Oaks' neighborhood, offering proximity to Ventura beaches, downtown Ojai, and convenient access to major cities like LA and Santa Barbara.
Generous & Private Grounds: A nearly half-acre lot adorned with massive California Oak Trees creates a serene, park-like setting and enhances privacy.

Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Flow: An eat-in kitchen opening to an expansive rear terrace and deck provides excellent opportunities for entertaining and enjoying the natural surroundings.

Cons

Age-Related Maintenance: As a 1957 build, despite updates, potential buyers may anticipate higher maintenance costs or the need for future system replacements compared to newer constructions.
Above Estimated Market Value: The current listing price is approximately 7% higher than the property's estimated market value, which could deter some price-sensitive buyers or prolong market time.
Niche Architectural Style: While a strength for some, the distinct mid-century modern aesthetic and preserved original elements may limit its appeal to a broader buyer demographic seeking more contemporary designs.
