First Time on the Market...Ever!
In your search for homes for sale in downtown Ojai, you may come across a few two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes that might suit your needs, but the chances of finding one with a basement are almost nil. The chances of finding one with a basement and a separate workshop or studio are even slimmer. That is one of the reasons this 1950 home that is on the market for the first time is so unique and such a fantastic find.
Another reason this home is a great find is that it has a perfect location for folks who want to enjoy all that downtown Ojai has to offer within just a short walk, bike ride or drive. For example, Jim & Rob’s Fresh Grill, Lisa’s Cantina, Beacon Coffee Company and Westridge Midtown Market are only about a block away. Go a few blocks farther, and you will find concerts at Libbey Bowl, the iconic post office, the Ojai Valley Trail, the weekly farmers market, Bart’s Books, banks, coffee shops, public and private schools, parks, and the boutiques, restaurants and galleries in and around The Arcade. From this great location, you can also simply walk to the end of the street to join locals and visitors as they gather to watch the 4th of July parade making its way down Ojai Avenue.
Location is, of course, a big plus for this home, but it is not all that it has to offer. To start, there is a two-car, detached garage and ample guest parking for family or social gatherings. Then there is the spacious, enclosed courtyard with a covered front porch, a deck with a stone fireplace, and multiple spots for seating areas.

As you step inside, your eyes are immediately drawn to a rustic wood accent wall in the dining room, which is bathed in natural light and is open to the living room. That is where you will find the gas fireplace insert with built-in bookshelves on either side. Ceiling fans in both the dining and living rooms help keep temperatures comfortable, while lots of windows allow in the breeze.
The tile floor that begins in the dining room continues into the nostalgic kitchen and down the hall to the bedrooms. This is where you will find the master bedroom with a wrap-around balcony, ceiling fan and an en suite bathroom with a laundry area and additional door leading to the hallway for convenient access. The guest bedroom also has a ceiling fan and an en suite bathroom, as well as lots of storage found in two built-in closets and cabinets.
For most downtown Ojai homes, this is where the interior space would end, but this home has much more to offer. Simply step outside and head down to the partially finished, multi-room basement and give yourself a little time to fantasize about how you might want to transform all of this versatile space to use for hobbies, storage, a home office, a writer’s retreat or something even more creative. Plus, adjacent to the basement is a separate space that offers even more room for a workshop or artist’s studio.

Just outside of the basement and workshop, there is a large area that could be used for a garden, plus there are mature trees surrounding most of the property and making it feel even more private. With no neighbor to the back and some mountain views thrown in for good measure, this is just a great location for anyone looking to enjoy the Ojai Valley lifestyle steps from all that downtown Ojai offers.
