669 Saratoga Avenue, Ventura, Residential

Set on one of the larger lots in this quiet, centrally located Ventura neighborhood, 669 Saratoga Ave is the kind of home that has been genuinely cared for over the years. A covered front porch and lush, curated landscaping welcome you before you even step inside. Inside, soaring two-story ceilings, dark hardwood floors, and a sweeping wrought-iron staircase set a warm, substantial tone. The home is adorned with plantation shutters throughout, perfectly positioned to take advantage of Ventura’s abundant natural light. The well-kept kitchen features white cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island, and stainless appliances – opening to a family room with vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, and built-in shelving with a slider to the backyard. The more recently remodeled primary suite is the crown jewel. The spa-caliber bathroom features a freestanding soaking tub, a frameless glass walk-in shower with pebble mosaic floors, built-in bench, dual rain and handheld fixtures, floor-to-ceiling tile, and a stunning oak double vanity with quartz counters and matte black hardware throughout. The oversized walk-in closet with built-in shelving completes the retreat. Three additional bedrooms include a fully enclosed fourth-bedroom loft conversion with its own closet built-ins. The backyard is a genuine highlight – a generously sized, thoughtfully designed outdoor living space featuring easy-to-maintain lush turf, a stone built-in BBQ kitchen, fire pit lounge area, and mature shade and fruit trees. Whether you’re hosting or simply unwinding, there’s room and ambiance for both. Steps from Thille Park and with easy access to the 101 and 126 freeways, this one is hard to beat.
