Ventura - Beach Property For Sale #2882823

Once a walnut orchard, this secluded 1919 farmhouse estate was transformed by professional landscape design into a botanical oasis nestled on 8/10's of an acre bordering a lemon orchard. Enter through the security gates to be greeted by a family of Koi as you cross the wooden bridge to access this home's grand front porch. A leaded glass front door welcomes you into the stately entry with classic crown molding and 24' baseboards. Top quality craftsmanship and vintage charm abound as the living room, library and dining room share those same features and are separated by pocket doors you can close for privacy. Ideal for large holiday gatherings, the formal dining room is complete with a built-in China closet and French doors leading to a patio shaded by lush mulberry trees. Two distinctive fireplaces with granite hearths and wood mantles will keep you warm and cozy this winter. For quiet contemplation, the library features built-in, glass covered bookshelves.
