Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1976, this home is well-maintained with some cosmetic updates like LVP flooring and painted kitchen cabinets. However, the kitchen features dated countertops, an older refrigerator, and a somewhat dated light fixture. Bathrooms show some updates (e.g., floor tile, painted vanity) but retain older fixtures and styles. Popcorn ceilings are visible, and the listing explicitly notes the absence of a central cooling system. While functional and livable, the property requires minor to moderate updates to meet current aesthetic and comfort standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location & Community: Situated in a highly desirable Ventura neighborhood, offering proximity to Arroyo Verde Park, Ventura College, schools, and shopping, within a city lauded for its low crime, low traffic, and coastal affordability.
Panoramic Ocean & City Views: The property, particularly the home office, boasts delightful panoramic views of the ocean, city, and hillsides, enhancing its appeal and value.
Spacious & Flexible Floor Plan: A generous 2,400+ sqft layout with 5 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, featuring a large home office and a private downstairs guest/in-law suite with its own entrance.
Large Corner Lot with RV Parking: Benefits from a fully fenced, large corner lot, providing ample outdoor space and the highly sought-after convenience of dedicated RV parking.
Private, Landscaped Backyard: Offers a lush, private backyard with mature landscaping and fruit trees, creating an ideal outdoor oasis for relaxation and entertaining.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =7646, other record lot size in square feet = 7405. Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2450, other record living area = 1880. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
Dated Construction & Potential for Renovation: Built in 1976, the property's 'southwestern style' may appeal to a specific taste, but the lack of explicit mention of recent major renovations (e.g., kitchen, bathrooms) suggests potential for significant updates to meet modern buyer expectations.
Extensive Landscape Maintenance: While a 'gardener's paradise,' the 'lush' and 'mature landscaping' implies a considerable ongoing commitment to yard maintenance, which could be a deterrent for buyers seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle.
Absence of Central Cooling System: The property description does not indicate the presence of a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer periods, particularly given the home's size.
