About this single-family home
A remarkably intact Airplane Bungalow from the early 20th century, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home reflects a distinct architectural moment in California. Distinguished by a second-story living space centered on the roof - and often likened to the cockpit of early aircraft - the home represents a regional interpretation of the American Craftsman style, designed to maximize light, airflow, and views. At 1867 Poli, this defining upstairs feature draws in coastal breezes, afternoon light, and a glimmer of the Channel Islands through a series of double-hung windows and a pair of Peter Pan-like casements. Downstairs, a well-proportioned living room opens to the dining area and kitchen, while original pocket doors offer flexible use of a generously sized adjoining room. Original character endures throughout in a range of preserved architectural details, including wavy glass panes, select pine floors, solid paneled doors with original hardware, and even a working skeleton key. A freestanding two-story garage, permitted in 1928-29, features carriage doors, an upstairs 'sleeping room,' a half bath, and ADU potential. Watch the light shimmer through a screen of silver sheen, unfurl in the sunroom where plants and daydreams flourish, or rinse off the surf and unwind in the backyard. Recent updates include a new electrical panel, water heater, private sewer lateral, updated bathroom fixtures, refreshed paint, a paver patio, and rear landscaping- setting the stage for this unique home's next steward. Ideally located at the historic edge of Midtown, adjacent to the Hobson Heights neighborhood and the secluded, multi-acre campus of St. Catherine by the Sea, 1867 Poli offers a quiet setting just blocks from Ventura's thriving Midtown corridor- home to independent shops, eateries, bakeries, grocers, art studios, and gathering places - and only minutes from Ventura's storied coastline. Good things never go out of style.
