Supplements: Discover this enchanting single-story 3-bedroom 2-bath custom Spanish Hacienda-style home with guest quarters surrounded by a lovely landscaped and level half-acre in the heart of the historic Ojai Arbolada area. Embraced by glorious oaks with tree-top views of the majestic Topa Topa mountains, the residence (approx 2400 sf per seller) has extra-thick walls, is built around a 1,000 square feet private courtyard and has three additional patios, a larger-than-two-car garage and a wisteria-covered port-cochere that connects the garage and extra room (for storage, guest or office) to the main house. This thoughtfully designed residence was built in 2001 and is a wonderful reflection of classic style and aesthetic detail.
