Zoned for both residential and select commercial use, the Kate Duval House sits on a 6,650 square foot through-lot spanning Main Street to Hemlock Lane and offers a range of residential and entrepreneurial possibilities. Set amidst historic homes and humming local businesses, this one-of-a-kind property is mere blocks from beloved neighborhood cafes, live music & theatre, local breweries, eateries, independent bookstores, boutiques and world-class surf breaks. Catch your coastal breezes from the outdoor brick patio, ideal for al fresco gatherings, or in the Eden of mature plantings, which include a fragrant magnolia champaca tree, a sprawling pink coral, manzanita, Meyer lemon, persimmon, Mexican lime, a lacy screen of Grevillea, and a shoestring acacia. Preserved sunburst brackets, original wavy glass bay windows, a monumental pocket door, and original finish work reflect stewardship and care throughout the years. As designated City of Ventura Landmark No. 74, this historic treasure may be Mills Act eligible for preservation property tax incentives. Enjoy as the perfect pied-à-terre or full-time residence, or add to Ventura's vibrant landscape of artists and independent business operators as the next proud owner of 953 E. Main Street.
