set above downtown ventura, where historic landmarks and 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 addresses, known for its architecture and views.
among buena vista′s charming cobblestone entries, 681 buena vista is a little bit craftsman, a sprinkle of japanese modern, and entirely its own. a palette of natural materials defines the home, from custom woodwork to slate flooring. skylights and large windows fill the home with natural light and give an ocean view at every step.
the 2,971 sq ft, two-story home offers three bedrooms and three baths. upstairs, the living room, dining area, and kitchen float above the historic city, with miles of ocean views. nearly 1,000 square feet of wraparound deck extends the living space outdoors, while the primary suite and second bedroom share the main level. downstairs, a private secondary living room and third bedroom create an ideal guest space or a home office.
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.
