Set against Ojai’s storied East End backdrop, and recently featured in The New York Times, 4158 Grand Avenue is a soulful five-bedroom retreat where timeless design and natural beauty converge. Three of the home’s bathrooms have just been updated with hand-troweled plaster finishes and new flooring – an understated, contemporary refresh that feels chic yet seamlessly in tune with the home’s original character. Hidden behind citrus groves and mature oaks, the property captures the essence of relaxed California living-warm, grounded, and effortlessly elegant. Inside, handcrafted stone fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, and the rich texture of brick-and-wood floors create a sense of comfort and continuity throughout. Sunlight fills each room, highlighting thoughtful architectural details and inviting spaces designed for connection and calm. The kitchen blends vintage charm with everyday functionality, opening toward the gardens and surrounding greenery. Five fireplaces anchor the home’s living and sleeping spaces, including two in the serene primary suite, where a private sitting room, dual baths, view decks, and cedar sauna form a true sanctuary. Throughout the home, French doors and picture windows frame lush garden views, drawing the outdoors in and emphasizing the property’s sense of seclusion and harmony. Four of the five bedrooms include en-suite baths, offering comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. Outdoors, the estate’s saltwater pool, spa, and wisteria-covered pergola unfold amid native landscaping, fruit trees, and meandering paths. Beyond the main residence, a detached three-car garage with art studio, laundry, and full bath expands the home’s versatility, while a separate one-bedroom guest house – privately tucked at the rear of the property – offers a welcoming space for guests or creative pursuits. Located just minutes from Ojai’s farmers market, trailheads, and celebrated local restaurants, 4158 Grand Avenue offers an exceptional balance of privacy, comfort, and connection – an Ojai sanctuary that feels both timeless and alive.
