Description
Perched on iconic Kalorama Street, this 2 bed/2bath 1930's Craftsman home radiates the timeless charm and character that make Ventura's historic bungalows so beloved. From its classic lines to its ocean-view front porch, this nearly century-old residence blends soulful nostalgia with modern livability. The location is unbeatable, truly the heart of Ventura. Stroll to the restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and theatres of downtown, or wander toward Ventura's emerging 'Funk Zone' with its breweries, surf shops, coffee houses and creative energy. Wax up your long board, hop on your bike, and you're at the legendary C Street surf break, Ventura Pier, and the beach in minutes via the Kalorama footbridge. Inside, the home is warm, inviting, and beautifully updated. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout retains the intimate nooks, built-ins, and craftsmanship of the 1930's while offering an upgraded kitchen & two full bathrooms that honor the home's heritage. A sun splashed garden room with tiled floors and optional skylights creates a serene space for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or creative inspiration. Behind the main house sits a versatile detached garage/studio that could be your creative haven. Whether you envision an office, art studio, surfboard shaping bay, or guest space, this structure is ready for whatevery you dream up. The property's rare mixed-use zoning (residential + commercial) unlocks exceptional flexibility: live, work, create, or operate a business - all from one of Ventura's coveted streets. Adding to its allure, the home was once owned by a celebrated English author who traveled with the Beatles and dined with celebrities and kings. That artistic legacy still lingers in the walls. Kalorama means 'beautiful view' and this home lives up to the name inside and out. A true Ventura treasure.
