Property Description

Set above downtown Ventura, where historic landmarks shape the skyline and the Botanical Gardens frame the hillside, Buena Vista Street lives up to its name. Meaning 'beautiful view,' it has long been one of Ventura's most inspirational residential addresses.Among Buena Vista's charming cobblestone entries, 681 Buena Vista is a little bit Craftsman, a sprinkle of Japanese modern, and entirely its own. Wood, natural light, and clean architecture create the space.The two-story home offers three bedrooms, three baths, and more than 2,900 sq ft of living space. Upstairs, the living room, dining area, and kitchen float above the historic city, with miles of ocean views. Nearly 1,000 sq ft of wraparound deck extends the living space outdoors, while the primary suite and second bedroom share the main level. A private elevator connects all levels, making the home functional. Downstairs, a private secondary living room and third bedroom create an ideal area for guests or office.A palette of natural materials defines the home, from custom cherry cabinetry and handcrafted woodwork to teak countertops and slate flooring. Inspired by traditional Japanese architecture, the home's indigo kawara tile roof adds timeless character and craftsmanship. Skylights and large windows fill the house with natural light.Set on more than a third of an acre and backing directly to open space, the property feels incredibly private. Native landscaping surrounds an elevated granite terrace that seems to float above the city and garden spaces tucked into the hillside.
