Property Description
Follow the gently winding, tree-lined streets of Lower College Park to 173 Bucknell, a classic 1950's 4-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home set amidst layers of drought-tolerant plantings and Hong Kong orchid trees. Welcoming and low-maintenance, the environmentally designed xeriscape offers a seasonal refuge for Monarch butterflies and hummingbirds easily observed from the private front porch. Inside, restored solid white oak floors highlight a layout designed for ease and flow. Renovated in 2023-25, this thoughtfully upgraded home now features a spacious kitchen with Koville soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, recessed LED lighting, a reverse osmosis filtration system, and an all-new appliance suite. Additional updates include a Carrier 3-ton heat pump HVAC system with NEST thermostat, new ducting and insulation, a heat pump water heater, an ABS private sewer lateral, a smart washer and dryer, a smart irrigation system, and a 200-amp electrical panel. Dual-pane windows and window treatments add to the home's comfort and efficiency. Pass through sliding glass doors to enjoy a backyard fully enclosed by a block wall covered in greenery, serving as a verdant backdrop to fruiting tangelo, nectarine, lemon, and avocado trees. Relax beneath a custom pergola where privacy and birdsong set the tone and enjoy year-round entertaining on the newly completed paver patio. A backyard shed offers additional storage for garden tools or the perfect playhouse, complete with a window box. Conveniently located just 1 block from Elmhurst Elementary School and a short stroll to Buena High School, Ventura College, and Camino Real Park. Additionally, Arroyo Verde Park with 129 sprawling acres of recreational space - including hiking trails, baseball fields, picnic and BBQ areas, and a recently installed, fully accessible sensory playground - is 1.2 miles away. Easy access to Highways 101 and 126, along with nearby shopping and commercial amenities. Just 10 minutes from Ventura's iconic beaches, pier, harbor, Botanical Gardens, downtown restaurants, and boutiques. A move-in-ready treasure, 173 Bucknell places daily rituals and coastal adventures within easy reach.
