Description
The Birdbath Bungalows at 142-146 S Ann St is a rare collection of three thoughtfully renovated standalone cottages nestled within one of Ventura's most sought-after coastal neighborhoods. Reimagined in 2023, the property combines classic beach bungalow charm with modern functionality through extensive improvements including upgraded electrical and plumbing systems, renovated interiors, in-unit laundry, inviting front porches, lush landscaping with automated irrigation systems, gas-grounded fire pits, and private outdoor living areas for each residence.Situated on an 10,000 SF lot, the property consists of (2) 2-bedroom/1-bathroom cottages and (1) 1-bedroom/1- bathroom cottage, each with its own entrance and yard, creating privacy and separation from the other residences. The property also features seven on-site parking spaces accessed via an alley, and a separately gated yard at the rear of the site providing space for continued storage or future development potential.Just moments from Ventura's beaches, pier, neighborhood cafes, and the vibrant shops and restaurants along Main Street, The Birdbath Bungalows offers an exceptional coastal lifestyle in an unbeatable location. The property currently operates through a combination of nightly and short-term stays, which presents a buyer with immediate flexibility to continue with shorter-term stays, transition the residences to long-term market-rate rentals, or owner-occupy one cottage while generating income from the remaining residences.
