Welcome to 496 Lupine Way in McElrea Heights -- a special Ventura hillside home where the views truly steal the show. Perched high above the city at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully renovated single-story retreat takes full advantage of its incredible setting, offering sweeping panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, and the twinkling city lights below. From the moment you step inside, the scenery becomes part of everyday living. Expansive windows throughout the home frame the coastline like artwork, filling the space with natural light and creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Whether it's watching the morning marine layer roll away or enjoying colorful sunsets in the evening, the views are simply unforgettable. The interior has been thoughtfully updated with Canadian white oak hardwood flooring, an open and comfortable layout, and stylishly remodeled kitchen and baths. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a clean, modern feel that's both functional and inviting. One of the true highlights of the home is the expansive view deck -- it feels like your own private observation point above the coast. Perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or simply taking in the ocean breeze, the deck includes built-in speakers powered by a Bluetooth-enabled Sonos amp, making it an ideal setting for everything from quiet mornings to sunset gatherings. The home also offers numerous system and exterior upgrades, including solar panels, a Tesla universal wall connector, newer HVAC with updated ducting, and a whole-house attic fan. Additional improvements include updated exterior finishes, upgraded decking, and a whole house charcoal water filter, water softener and R/O for drinking water. Outside, the beautifully landscaped grounds create a peaceful hillside retreat, complete with newly built trail steps, updated irrigation, mature avocado trees, and a variety of fruit trees. Set on an expansive 20,813-square-foot lot, the property provides rare privacy and a sense of space that's hard to find on the hillside -- offering a natural buffer from neighboring homes while enhancing the home's tranquil, secluded feel. This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in ready Ventura hillside home where the views, privacy, and lifestyle come together in a truly exceptional way.
