Positioned in one of Ventura's most established neighborhoods, 209 Dorothy Avenue is a 1953 single-family mid-century home defined by classic architecture and the opportunity to curate a personalized living environment. Set along a tree-lined street, the residence spans approximately 1,790 square feet and includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a den offering flexibility for today's lifestyle needs. Refinished natural oak hardwood floors provide warmth throughout much of the home, while fresh interior paint and high ceilings establish a clean, airy setting. A redbrick fireplace centers the living area, and stainless steel appliances offer function within a kitchen that invites modern enhancement. Both bathrooms retain their original elements and await thoughtful transformation. A den addition with built-in shelving and wood paneling offers the ideal setting for a study, library, or media lounge. Outdoors, a mature lemon tree provides seasonal fruit and a quintessential nod to Southern California's landscape heritage. Located near Ventura College, local markets, artisan coffee shops, breweries, and community parks, the property also resides within the school boundary of Loma Vista Elementary, Cabrillo Middle School, and Ventura High School. With original mid-century detail and a layout suited to evolve, this home offers both architectural integrity and enduring potential in one of Ventura's most desirable locations.
