About this home

Located in the Rolling Hills Estates neighborhood, this four-bedroom home is just a walk or bike ride away from dining, shopping, the post office, grocery stores, and more. It is also just a short drive to the shops, cafes, spas, and galleries in Ojai's downtown village and the camping, fishing, and water park at Lake Casitas. This approximately 1,958-square-foot home has an open floor plan with flexible spaces, large closets, ceiling fans, a walk-in pantry, a gas fireplace with a brick hearth, and an extra-large family room with a garden window. There are also unique touches throughout that make this home stand out, such as the molding around the interior doors, wainscoting, clawfoot bathtub, two bay windows with window seats, a built-in desk and bookshelves, and a vintage O'Keefe & Merritt gas range. Outside, there is a covered patio, an additional patio, garden area, RV parking, two-car garage, drought-resistant landscaping, and a river rock walkway and borders in the front yard.

Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1965, this home is well-maintained but shows significant signs of age in its key areas. The kitchen features dated honey oak cabinets, older white appliances including a vintage O'Keefe & Merritt gas range, and older tile flooring, indicating it has not been updated in many years. Bathrooms also present dated styles, with a clawfoot tub and older tile patterns (red accent, glass block, checkerboard). While clean and functional, these areas require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards and preferences. The overall condition suggests regular upkeep but a lack of major renovations within the last 15-30 years.

Flexible & Spacious Interior: Features an open floor plan with flexible spaces, large closets, a walk-in pantry, an extra-large family room with a garden window, and a gas fireplace, providing comfortable living.
Unique Architectural Character: Boasts distinctive design elements such as molding, wainscoting, a clawfoot bathtub, bay windows with window seats, built-in desk/bookshelves, and a vintage O'Keefe & Merritt gas range, adding charm and individuality.

Scenic Mountain Views: The property offers desirable mountain views, contributing to its aesthetic appeal and potential value.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential for System Updates: Built in 1965, the home is nearly 60 years old, which may indicate a need for updates to major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to meet modern standards or preferences.
Recent Price Reductions: Multiple price reductions from the original list price suggest potential market resistance or an initial overvaluation, which could impact buyer perception and negotiation.
Specific Aesthetic Appeal: While charming, the 'unique touches' and 'vintage' elements might appeal to a niche buyer, potentially limiting broader market interest from those seeking more contemporary finishes and appliances.
