318 Plumas Avenue, Ventura, Residential

Set along a quiet, greenbelt lined street on Ventura’s coveted east end, this 2014 contemporary California ranch is a home designed for ease, warmth, and everyday beauty. Natural materials lead the way, from the stone fireplace chimney and soft toned siding to the custom alder wood and stained glass front door that quietly sets the tone before you even step inside. Once indoors, ten foot ceilings and honey white oak floors immediately open the space, filling the home with light and an effortless sense of calm. The living room centers around a travertine wrapped fireplace that anchors the space and naturally draws people together, whether it’s slow mornings, quiet evenings, or weekends spent hosting friends. The kitchen is made for real life. Rich alder wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, and mosaic tile backsplash create a space that feels warm and refined without ever feeling precious. A wall oven paired with a built-in microwave, a five burner gas cooktop with pot filler, and generous prep space make cooking and entertaining easy and intuitive. Just beyond, the dining and sitting area invites long meals and unhurried conversation. French doors open to the backyard and frame mountain views, creating an easy indoor outdoor connection that turns everyday moments into something memorable. Outside, the backyard has been thoughtfully reimagined for gathering and unwinding. New block fencing and landscaped walls create a sense of privacy, while a custom pavilion with string lighting and a lush lawn set the stage for sunset dinners, weekend celebrations, and quiet nights under the stars. The primary suite offers a true retreat. Tall ceilings, warm oak floors, and dual windows looking out to treetops create a space that feels both peaceful and connected to nature. The spa inspired bath features a dual sink alder wood vanity, a deep jetted soaking tub, and a travertine walk in shower with dual shower heads, designed for slow mornings and end of day resets. Two additional bedrooms are generously sized and filled with natural light, sharing a beautifully finished guest bath with travertine tile, an oversized vanity, and thoughtful detailing throughout. Every element of the home has been carefully considered. Custom alder wood interior doors, dual pane windows, electronic air filtering central heat and air, and an alkaline water filtration system delivering drinkable water throughout the home all support comfort and ease. The attached two car garage includes epoxy floors, built in shelving, and an automatic roll-up garage door, while gated RV access with 220 volt hookups adds flexibility. Solar panels and dual washer and dryer hookups for two full sets round out a truly well equipped home. Directly across from the Brown Barranca greenbelt, scenic walking and hiking trails unfold just beyond your front door, with access to the Long Canyon trail network and Ventura’s preserved canyon landscape. You are also just about 15 minutes from Ventura Beach, making coastal mornings and sunset walks an easy part of daily life. This east end location places you minutes from Prospect Coffee Roasters, Palm & Boy, the Ventura Farmers Market, and casual dinners at Lure Fish House, Rumfish y Vino, and Finney’s on Main Street. Ventura Harbor Village and the historic downtown corridor complete the lifestyle with waterfront dining, boutique shopping, and year round community events. This is a home that balances architecture, comfort, and lifestyle with quiet confidence, offering space to gather, recharge, and truly settle in.
