Condition Rating
Fair

This 1965-built home is well-maintained but largely dated. The kitchen, updated around the 1990s, features older white cabinetry, dark countertops, and a mix of appliance ages (some newer stainless, some older white). Bathrooms also show dated tile and fixtures. Flooring is a mix of older carpet and white square tiles. While functional and clean, the property requires significant cosmetic updates to bring it to modern standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for a home built over 20 years ago with renovations 15-30 years ago.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Architectural Significance: A rare, custom-built mid-century modern home with authentic period details, soaring vaulted ceilings, and large picture windows, offering unique character and natural light.
Generous Space & Flexible Layout: Features a substantial 3,228 sq ft single-level floor plan with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, thoughtfully designed for potential multigenerational living with a private primary suite.
Expansive & Private Lot: Sits on a large 15,681 sq ft barranca lot, providing ample outdoor space, tranquility, and significant potential for landscaping or expansion.
Desirable Location: Conveniently located close to Arroyo Verde Park, top-rated schools, shopping, and offers easy freeway access in one of Ventura's most sought-after neighborhoods.
Untapped Potential & Rarity: Being offered for the first time since its construction in 1965, this property presents a unique opportunity for buyers to restore, reimagine, and add significant value.

Cons

Outdated Kitchen: The kitchen was last updated around the 1990s, indicating a need for modernization to meet contemporary standards and preferences.
Extensive Renovation Required: As a largely original 1965 home, significant investment will likely be required for comprehensive updates and renovations beyond the kitchen to align with modern living expectations.
Potential for Deferred Maintenance: The property's long-term single ownership and lack of recent major renovations suggest there may be deferred maintenance or systems that require attention due to age.
