Presenting a nature-rich life of serenity, calm, and privacy at the renovated Hummingbird House, nestled amidst drought-tolerant landscaping and mature, leafy trees in a peaceful neighborhood filled with majestic California Oaks. Among one of the very first mid-century modern homes to be constructed, its architecture represents the peak of post-war optimism with an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living. A meandering pathway leads through a manicured paradise, a haven for graceful hummingbirds and other pollinators. Enter through the home's welcoming front door, with its colorful stained-glass insets, to discover the home's living room complete with fireplace, awash in natural light through walls of glass and strategically placed clerestory windows, characteristic of its storied origin. New sustainable cork floors flow throughout the public entertaining spaces and into each bedroom. The pristine kitchen has ample cabinet and counter space plus top-of-the-line appliances such as a new chef-grade refrigerator and a chef-grade range with hood and pot filler. A quaint breakfast nook features garden views. The adjacent dining room is equipped with a curved bar for serving party guests. The primary bedroom is large and includes built-in storage as well as a spacious remodeled bath with walk-in rainwater shower and soaking tub. Secondary bedrooms are also spacious and light-filled, one of which is currently utilized as an office/den. Outside, enjoy a variety of open-air spaces for relaxing under California skies. A patio with pergola and built-in barbecue is the ideal place to dine al fresco, or converse with friends and family aside the grassy lawn, thriving succulents, fruit-bearing trees, and charming bird baths. Scenic Santa Paula, known for its orange groves, lemons, and avocados, is an historic city lovingly nicknamed 'Hometown USA' and referred to as the Citrus Capital of the World. The Oaks neighborhood in Santa Paula is its crown jewel. There are local museums, hiking trails, shops, and restaurants nearby, and Ojai's burgeoning artists' community is just 20 minutes away. Or, take a day trip to Santa Barbara for wine tasting and whale watching from world-famous beaches. Welcome home!
