408 Franklin Drive, Ojai, Residential

Just a few walking blocks from the heart of downtown Ojai, this thoughtfully renovated two-bedroom, two-bath bungalow pairs timeless character with modern comfort. Walk to your favorite cafes, restaurants, galleries, shops, hiking trails, and the farmers market, then come home to a quiet, light-filled retreat under a beautiful oak tree.Renovated in late 2024, the single family home features new flooring throughout, beautifully reimagined bathrooms with high-end tile and fixtures, an all new kitchen, updated lighting, and efficient mini-split heating and cooling in every room. The primary suite has a walk-in closet and a fully redone custom pebble shower with pulido-style micro-cement finish and Zia terracota floor tiles and in-floor heating. The guest bath has emerald green Zia tile and a deep soaking tub, along with a skylight. Original details–including some vintage cabinetry and the pantry–have been carefully preserved, giving the home warmth and personality that newer construction often lacks.Natural light fills the living spaces, while the backyard has been transformed into a private outdoor sanctuary with thoughtfully designed hardscaping, native landscaping, raised planter boxes, and views of the Topatopa Mountains (for the perfect Ojai moment sunset). Whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee or gathering with friends in the evening, the setting captures the easy pace that makes Ojai so special.Adding exceptional flexibility is a detached studio of approximately 200 square feet, ideal as an art studio, home office, gym, or guest space. A second detached outbuilding provides additional room for a workshop, storage, or creative pursuits.With approximately 1,100 square feet of living space in the main home, a detached studio, and an additional workspace, this is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready property that offers both character and versatility in one of Ojai’s most sought-after downtown neighborhoods.
