About this home
Single Family · Built 1936 · Historic
WOW, huge price drop! Now is the time to see this home in Boulder Creek. Dreaming of a magical getaway in the majestic redwoods? A sweet cabin of your own to relax and forget about your cares? Look no further because you've struck gold. One family has loved this home over many years, but now it's time for a new owner to call it home. Stay warm by your wood-burning stove or switch on the furnace and put your feet up. In the summer, stay cool in the AC. Enjoy the back deck under the canopy of redwoods. This home is far enough to feel like a world away but close enough to the town of Boulder Creek not to be a trek for essentials. Get outdoorsy with just a quick drive to Big Basin State Park right here in Boulder Creek, or head the other direction up Hwy 9 to Castle Rock. Feel like a swim? Ask the locals about the various swimming holes along the San Lorenzo River, or take the drive south down Hwy 9 straight to Santa Cruz and its gorgeous beaches. Just in time for summer - this home is truly a retreat from the ordinary!
