246 Eugenia Drive

This is a beautiful garden home in Ventura's sought-after Cunhane Tract! Rumor has it this unique property was designed by renowned Ojai architect Austen Pierpont in a bygone era. A 1941 cottage charmer, it features many unexpected delights. An outdoor oasis is first noticed in the manicured entry courtyard beyond… the private front yard. The bubbling fountain is the centerpiece, welcoming all. Inside, a very unique feature is that every room throughout the home has a garden view, and every bedroom has a door to serenely landscaped environs. These features combine to bring the outdoors in, providing tranquil serenity. The kitchen features a custom window seat dining nook, and a single-basin farm sink, with light flowing in from both the North and South. A dual-sided plate rack provides a pass through for more light and conversation between the kitchen and spacious dining room. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace, a view of the courtyard fountain, and French doors to a 'secret garden' dining patio complete with a built-in barbecue. A glass door separates the public spaces from sleeping quarters. The three bedrooms each open to different peaceful garden sections, including the herb beds, a sunny spot for relaxing among fruit trees, and a garden lounge beneath a pergola, with an outdoor fireplace. There is also a Hot Springs spa tucked away, as well as another fountain. This unique home has hardwood floors, some incredible beveled glass windows, some lovely casement windows, and ample built-in bookcases and closets. Recently, air conditioning was added, and the heating system and water heater were replaced. Looking for income property, or room for multi-generational living? Recently drafted plans are available for transfer to convert the traditional garage to an ADU with shared laundry and a separate entrance. Find Shangri-La in Ventura on Eugenia Drive! Read More
