1580 Garst Lane Ojai, CA 93023

On a private lane in the East End, this lovely 1928 farmhouse-style home retains all of the charm of its roots while being lovingly upgraded and updated to modern standards. Two separate buildings have high ceilings with exposed beams, French doors, large windows and beautiful wood floors which combine to create a clean, light and spacious feeling throughout. The front courtyard has pergolas on both sides covered by mature wisterias which creates a cheerful and inviting entrance to the main building. The open-concept dining room/sitting room/kitchen complex has a rock fireplace and opens onto a private, shady, outside dining and lounging area with a large outdoor rock fireplace. The modern kitchen has stainless appliances and a farmhouse sink. The spacious primary suite has beautiful light, a walk-in closet and a luxurious bathroom with a gorgeous clawfoot tub. Across the entrance breezeway is a large entertainment room and a second bedroom and bath, which creates a separate space for kids, guests or TV. The second building contains a large, finished garage and self-contained guest suite with bathroom which could also serve as an office or an artist's studio. The grounds are delineated by hand-built rock walls and there are several sitting areas among the citrus trees and the abundant native oaks. This is a classic East End refuge nestled in the embrace of Ojai's natural beauty.
