Ojai Jewel

Everyone in Southern California knows about Ojai. Its nickname is Shangri-La because the film Lost Horizon was made here. From a novel by the same name, it was described by novelist James Hilton as a mystical, harmonious valley; an earthly paradise. Would you like to own your own slice of paradise? I may have staged it  just for you! 511 El Paseo Road is a beautiful, completely renovated property that is literally a street away from downtown.

Call this home zen meets high tech. Xeriscape gardens greet you at the front and back. Step in the front door and onto bamboo flooring. But don’t think that any modern convenience has been overlooked: in-wall hookups for your flat screen television has been pre-wired, recessed lighting has been installed thoughtfully throughout, and Viking appliances will help any cook turn out gourmet meals. Two spacious master suites turn this single story home into a perfect forever home, or a close-enough-to-LA getaway.

A large living room with lots of windows:

The dining room is open to the living room and kitchen. There’s not a bad seat at the table!

And if you prefer to sit at the island to talk shop with the chef, there’s plenty of room:

Start and end each day in the sun room. That’s my recommendation!

Here’s a view of one of the two light-filled master suites:

Each of the two bathrooms is equally apportioned. Dual sinks, gorgeous and high end.
