Description

Beautiful Countryside Home with 1920's character and charm on a quiet hillside street. The moment you arrive, you feel a peaceful, cinematic, and undeniably magical charm where time slows and every detail exudes intentional, elevated old Hollywood style. Perched above the charming town of Santa Paula, this 1927 all-brick Tudor-style home exudes a cottage feel with artisanal details. Melted brick accents decorate the pilasters & the unique front planter wall, while S-scrolls on the dual fireplaces add a whimsical, handcrafted touch. Original brickwork preserve the home's historic soul, making it a truly unique, storybook retreat.Set on an elevated 10,000 sq ft lot in Mckevett Heights and one of the first homes built on the hill, this 1,757 sq ft residence captures sweeping views & a gentle ocean breeze creating a cinematic atmosphere. With 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms, including 2 primary suites, the home blends function with undeniable charm. Original steel windows, arched walls, & an arched brick entry add to its architectural character, while an approx. 800 sq ft vaulted attic offers incredible potential for a future second story. Inside, original character meets refined design. The nearly 2 inch thick white oak floors have been meticulously restored, sanded, bleached, & stained into a soft Scandinavian blonde that brightens the entire space.

Thoughtful touches like an arched open pantry, soft-close cabinetry, integrated dishwasher & refrigerator & deep, butler-style drawers elevate everyday living.Throughout the home, upgrades have been seamlessly integrated: recessed lighting, interior paint, landscaping a new garage door, tankless water heater, & water softening system. The bathrooms echo a vintage-inspired elegance with pedestal sinks, while the second primary suite offers a beautifully reimagined space with dramatic black & white finishes & ceiling-height alcove tile. Outdoors, the property unfolds like a private garden retreat. A sprawling grassy front yard, mature trees, & charming brick pathways lead to intimate patio seating areas designed for gathering & quiet moments alike. The large lot size is perfect for your imagination, perhaps an ADU? Nature is part of daily life here blue jays nest in the trees, hummingbirds & butterflies drift through the yard, & fruit trees including avocado, orange, persimmon, pineapple guava, & guava create a lush, abundant setting.Beyond the home, the lifestyle continues.

Landmarks such as the iconic Santa Paula Clock Tower & experiences like the beloved railbikes add to its charm, while the surrounding agricultural landscape & the breathtaking Topatopa Mountains, famous for their ''pink moment'' sunsets, create a setting that feels both grounded & awe-inspiring.And while the pace here is peaceful & slow, the location is incredibly central, just a short drive to Ojai, Ventura, Carpinteria/ SB and Fillmore.The potential here is incredible, yet the home is completely move-in ready.
