Set just above downtown Ventura, 981 Poli captures the kind of unobstructed ocean and island views that are increasingly rare — the kind you’ll find yourself pausing for, watching sailboats roll in as the light shifts throughout the day.

And the bathrooms… truly special. Beautifully lit, classically designed, and finished in a way that feels both refined and enduring. Natural light pours into three charming bedrooms, including two en suite, offering comfort and privacy with a warm, inviting feel. One of the home’s most valuable features is the private studio suite with its own entrance, kitchen, and bath — ideal for guests, extended family, or additional income. But what truly sets this home apart is the lifestyle. Step outside and downtown Ventura becomes an extension of your home — morning coffee on Main Street, sunset walks through the Botanical Gardens, dinner out with friends, and an easy stroll back under the coastal evening sky. It’s rare to find a home that offers this level of charm, functionality, and connection to place.
