About 98 Howard Avenue
Perched on a hilltop in the heart of Oak View, this classic 1958 ranch/mid-century home offers one of the most coveted settings in the Ojai Valley. Set on 1.22 acres with unobstructed views, this private retreat delivers the quintessential Ojai lifestyle -- including a front-row seat to the legendary Pink Moment over the Topa Topa Mountains.The 2,600 sq ft home features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a two-car attached garage. Freshly painted throughout, the interior strikes a perfect balance of mid-century character and comfortable living -- anchored by a brick fireplace, French doors etched with bird-safe circles, and a beautifully appointed kitchen with center island, farmhouse sink, and wood stove. The primary suite opens to its own private deck, and the spa-inspired bath features a freestanding clawfoot tub, walk-in glass shower, and custom tile inlay.Outside, the grounds are nothing short of enchanting -- ancient California oaks, a storybook vine-covered garden shed, a bocce ball court, kitchen garden, fruit orchard, and two decks designed for taking in the views. A bonus unfinished basement with half bath offers additional potential.A rare opportunity to own a piece of living Ojai history.
