Floor Plan
The Southern Colonial architecture of this Arbolada home is a rare find in the Ojai Valley. Set back from the road at the curve of a U-shaped driveway, the eye-catching colonnade and portico give a stately sophistication to the home’s façade.
Once inside, the elegance continues as you step beyond the foyer into the living room where your eye will be immediately drawn to the custom Bradbury and Bradbury handmade wallpaper and stunning light fixtures. These stand-out features are paired with a wood floor, crown molding, plantation shutters, and a gas fireplace with a stone hearth and surround.
A large arch connects the living room to the formal dining room, where the curved ceiling, rounded corners and wood floor provide a lovely space for dinner parties. A sliding door leading to the patio allows for indoor-outdoor entertaining and bathes the room in natural light.

A pocket door separates the formal dining room from the kitchen, where you will find a Wolf range, Miele dishwasher, stainless steel farmhouse sink, marble backsplash, tile floor, and solid stone counter tops. The peninsula offers extra storage, while the coffee-service counter will surely be your first stop each morning.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the casual dining room with a tile floor, additional storage cabinets, a sliding door to the main outdoor living area, and a breakfast bar that could also be used for buffet service.

Moving from the casual dining room into the family room, it is difficult to not immediately imagine a lazy Sunday where a delicious brunch leads to a day of lounging with your loved ones in front of the brick fireplace while streaming your favorite movies. The wood floor, dimmable lights, and built-in cabinets and shelves on each side of the fireplace and entertainment center bring a cozy feel to this spacious room. There is also a walk-in pantry or storage closet. While the kitchen is generally considered the heart of the home, this family room is sure to be a strong contender.
Just off the family room, you will find the laundry room, which has a tile floor, storage cabinets and an ironing board cabinet. There is also a door to the front parking area, a door to the two-car garage and a door to the backyard. In the hallway to the backyard and pool area, there is a guest bathroom with a pedestal sink, plantation shutters and tile shower.
Also adjacent to the family room, there is a large office with a wood floor, built-in desk and cabinets, and plantation shutters. Between the office and the foyer, there is a powder room with a wood floor and marble counter.
Across from the powder room, wood stairs lead to the second floor, where you will find the master suite, second-floor sitting room and guest bedrooms.

Also adjacent to the family room, there is a large office with a wood floor, built-in desk and cabinets, and plantation shutters. Between the office and the foyer, there is a powder room with a wood floor and marble counter.
Across from the powder room, wood stairs lead to the second floor, where you will find the master suite, second-floor sitting room and guest bedrooms.
The spacious master bedroom provides an inviting retreat with double doors at the entry, a wood floor, gas fireplace with polished stone surround, and plantation shutters. In the master bathroom, there are two separate vanities with sinks, a window seat, plantation shutters, a separate water closet, tile shower, over-sized soaking tub, tile walls and floor, and a third vanity with a polished stone counter. The walk-in closet offers plenty of space for your wardrobe with built-in shelves and drawers.
The first of three guest bedrooms is located adjacent to the master, which makes it a versatile space to perhaps use as a nursery or to annex into the master suite to create a large dressing room or sitting room. This room features a wood floor, ceiling fan, plantation shutters, a window seat with storage drawers, and a sliding door leading to the balcony overlooking the backyard and pool.
The adjacent guest bathroom (one of two on the second floor) has a dual-sink vanity plus a second vanity with ample storage. The vanity tops and floor are tile, as is the surround for the bathtub-shower combination. After this, there is a walk-in closet with built-in shelves for linens and additional storage.

The next space is an open area defined by stately columns. With a wood floor, sliding door to the balcony overlooking the pool and backyard, and built-in shelves and cabinets, this versatile space could be used as a sitting room, gym, yoga studio, or art studio. There is also an alcove for a desk or reading nook, so this could even be a second office or a library.
Next, you come to the second guest bathroom serving the upstairs, which has a tile floor and tile bathtub-shower surround.

Guest House
The separate guest house is just far enough from the main house for privacy but close enough for convenience. The two-story layout allows for versatile options, such as using the entire space for long- or short-term guests, or using the first floor for guests and the second floor as an office, yoga space, or art studio. While an interior staircase connects the two floors, there is also a set of stairs at the back of the house that leads to a separate entrance for the second floor, which makes it easier to use the spaces separately if desired.
The separation from the main house and the adjacent parking area also make this a great space for seeing clients or keeping work separate from your home life.
Tile flooring, which was installed in 2018, can be found throughout the open-concept living room, dining room and kitchen, as well as in the first-floor bedroom and bathroom and the upstairs studio space. In the freshly painted kitchen, you will find a tile counter, plenty of cabinets for storage, and a ceiling fan. The bedroom also has a ceiling fan, as well as a vaulted ceiling, a sliding door to a patio, and a large, cedar-lined, walk-in closet with built-in drawers and shelves and a door leading to additional storage under the stairs. In the bathroom, there is a large vanity, a lavatory alcove, and a combination bathtub and shower.
Upstairs, you will find a large, open space with a vaulted ceiling and a balcony with stairs leading down to the parking area and the workspace behind the guest house. This versatile space could be used as an additional living area, or it could be used as a game room, art studio, writer’s retreat, office, yoga and meditation space, or home gym.

Grounds
The main house and guest house are surrounded by approximately .97 acre with mature trees and landscaping, a separately fenced backyard, privacy hedges along the borders of the property, and ample guest parking.
There is a hedged lawn in the center of the u-shaped driveway that adds to the stately elegance of the home, as well as large lawn areas in both the front yard and backyard. Between the guest house and the privacy hedges at the front of the property, there is a large, flat area with raised garden beds and a few fruit trees. This versatile space would be perfect for a large garden, a family orchard or your favorite hobbies.
Avid gardeners and makers will also like the outdoor workshop located behind the guest house, which provides a shaded work area with storage shelves and a sink.
Mature rose bushes brighten the manicured landscaping in the front yard and can also be found accenting the brick border around the main outdoor living area in the backyard. This large patio is partially covered and is connected to the family room and dining rooms for easy indoor-outdoor entertaining.
There is a second, stamped-concrete patio bordering the pool and spa with multiple seating areas and a canopy cover over one section for folks who need a break from the sun.
Between the large, grassy areas, spacious patios and mountain views, you will love entertaining here. Plus, there is plenty of versatile space to customize to suit your lifestyle.
