2542 Poli Street, Ventura, CA 93003
For those who appreciate architecture as art as well as home with a story...welcome to 2542 Poli. This 1948 midcentury modern residence designed by noted California architect Randolph Chalfant Head is a rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of Ventura's design history. Thoughtfully composed and true to the ideals of post-war modernism, the single-story home embodies Head's signature approach: clean horizontal lines, natural materials, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. An expansive picture window marry outdoor patio into the dining and living room spaces with natural light to warm the space. Iconic design continues with the seamless built-ins, custom shelving, and warm wood detailing showcase the skilled craftsmanship that defines the era. Magic continues into the remodeled kitchen which flows effortlessly into the dining and bonus room just off the lanai and raised garden beds. This Midcentury beauty blends chic with California living with intentional layout inside and out. Enjoy 3 bedrooms, 11/2 baths, plus the mentioned bonus room, all arranged on a single level that emphasizes simplicity, proportion, and connection to the surrounding landscape. To understand the expansive 7,405 sq ft lot, you will want to stroll in the 4 different outdoor spaces with 2 patio areas, DG garden bed area, and curated spaces for gathering or quiet reflection. A detached garage offers potential for a studio, workshop, or future ADU, while an outdoor shower with its own water heater makes rinsing off after nearby beach days both practical and indulgent. Exterior recently repainted and beautifully preserved, the home sits in Ventura's coveted Cunnane neighborhood, named for Dr. Thomas Cunnane, a beloved physician who served Ventura County beginning in 1899. This historic enclave is known for its character, charm, and proximity to the coast. Architecturally significant, quietly sophisticated, and deeply rooted in Ventura's cultural fabric, this is much more than a home.
