Discover a rare opportunity to own a piece of paradise on the Ventura Hillside--a stunning contemporary beach home set on an expansive 1.85-acre lot, offering panoramic views of the ocean, islands, and Santa Monica Mountains, all just steps from downtown Ventura. This remodeled masterpiece, located between Malibu and Santa Barbara, seamlessly blends modern luxury with the natural beauty of its surroundings while being conveniently within walking distance to downtown Ventura and its beaches.The interior, designed by Cameron Scott Design, features an open-concept layout with high ceilings, 8-foot sliding doors, and recessed lighting. The gourmet kitchen includes stainless steel appliances like a Thermador 6-burner stove and double refrigerator drawers, plus Kohler sinks, Walker Zanger tile, a large island with Cambria countertops, and custom cabinetry. A Sonos music system and a modern powder room enhance the main level.The primary suite offers a walk-in closet, dual Kohler sinks, designer faucets, solid surface countertops, and a large walk-in shower, with sliding doors opening to decks for views of sunrises and city lights. Downstairs, two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath, and a den with a wet bar and wine fridge provides additional space. A large laundry room includes an extra bathroom.Outside, the property features multiple entertaining areas: two viewing decks, a main level patio with built-in outdoor heaters in the overhang, a water feature, a spa, and a fire pit. The landscaped grounds by Halter-Encinas include Mediterranean plants, walking trails, and fruit trees like avocado and citrus.Spanning an impressive 1.85 acres, this estate is a rare find on the Ventura Hillside, particularly given its proximity to downtown. In a region where properties near the city center are typically much smaller, this expansive lot provides a unique blend of space, privacy, and convenience, making this home a truly unique opportunity to own.
