About this home

Set at the end of a private cul-de-sac on an expansive half-acre lot, this classic California ranch offers something increasingly rare: single-level living, generous indoor and outdoor spaces, and panoramic foothill views in a quiet custom-home setting. Built in 1979 and thoughtfully maintained, the home retains the warmth and character of its era while offering a floor plan that works beautifully for everyday living and entertaining.Natural light fills the 3,196-square-foot interior, with plentiful windows and French doors creating an easy connection to the outdoors. The spacious kitchen features cherry cabinetry, tiled countertops, a center island, stainless appliances and a sunny breakfast area. A formal dining room with raised-hearth fireplace opens through French doors to the living room, while the adjoining family room takes center stage with a dramatic vaulted pecky-cedar ceiling, exposed beams, fireplace, full-width built-in cabinetry and an inviting wet bar accented by vintage stained glass. An included billiard table completes this exceptional entertaining space.The primary suite is a private retreat, with a generously sized sitting room featuring a vaulted beamed ceiling, raised-hearth brick fireplace and two sets of French doors opening directly to the patio and pool. Three additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, work, hobbies or fitness.Outside, mature trees frame the property and create a sense of privacy, while the gas-heated pool and covered patio invite relaxed outdoor living. From the backyard, panoramic foothill views create a striking backdrop from morning through sunset.Located in a small enclave of custom homes surrounded by similarly generous lots, the property captures much of what makes Camarillo special--space, open landscapes, a comfortable Mediterranean climate and easy access to parks, hiking, golf, equestrian areas, shopping, dining, the 101 and nearby beaches.
