Architecturally striking and rich with character, 251 Palomares is a rare prairie-style residence that blends timeless design with modern comfort. It was built new to reflect the era. Tall, wide and straight is evident throughout including the work of a master carpenter.Strong horizontal rooflines, stacked stonework, and custom lighting create a dramatic first impression, while stained-glass details and warm wood accents carry the artistry indoors.The entry opens to a thoughtful floor plan anchored by a stone fireplace framed with hand-crafted stained glass and elegant wood paneling throughout. Every detail has been carefully planned -- from the slate stone flooring to the custom light fixtures that add depth and warmth to each room.At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen stands out with high-end appliances, abundant cabinetry, and generous prep space designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, the grand primary suite offers a private retreat with a south-facing balcony, perfect for enjoying natural light and Ventura breezes. On the main level, a separate suite currently set as a private office provides flexibility for remote work or guest accommodations.Step outside to a spacious backyard deck surrounded by low-maintenance landscaping and hardscaping, ideal for gatherings or quiet moments at home. With its northeast-facing frontage, the home captures soft morning light while staying cool in the afternoons.From the custom wrought iron accents to the intentional architectural flow, 251 Palomares is more than a home -- it's a statement of design, craftsmanship, and California coastal living.
