Property Description

Hobson Heights Ocean-View Beauty! Perched above Downtown Ventura in the highly coveted Hobson Heights neighborhood, this enchanting Spanish hacienda blends timeless character, ocean views, privacy, and an exceptional coastal location. Enjoy beautiful ocean, city-light and sunset views while being just minutes from the beach, Ventura Pier, parks, restaurants, shopping, and everything vibrant Downtown Ventura has to offer. Pride of ownership shines throughout this meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded home. Rich hardwood floors, picturesque windows, abundant natural light, skylights, and distinctive architectural details preserve its vintage charm while modern improvements provide today's comforts. The remodeled kitchen is complemented by two dining areas. The flexible floor plan offers two traditional bedrooms plus a den that can function as a third bedroom, home office, or additional living space. Two remodeled bathrooms add to the appeal--including one with an ocean view. Central A/C and owned solar provide additional comfort and efficiency. The outdoor spaces are just as special. Multiple patios and sitting areas invite you to enjoy Ventura's coastal climate year-round. The tropical-inspired backyard creates a private retreat complete with a bar, spa, and waterfall--perfect for entertaining or relaxing under the stars. A detached garage and additional off-street parking provide added flexibility, with the garage offering potential for a future ADU, studio, office, or guest space, subject to City approval. Garage and additional parking access are from Lincoln Drive. The property also has an established history as a highly successful vacation rental, reportedly generating six-figure annual gross rental income with more than five years of operating history. Buyers should independently verify current City requirements for continued short-term rental use. The owners may consider selling the home furnished, offering the possibility of a turnkey purchase. Whether envisioned as a primary residence, coastal getaway, or investment opportunity, this Hobson Heights gem offers an exceptional combination of views, character, location, and versatility!
