About this home
Single Family · Built 1983
Tucked away on 3.5 peaceful acres yet just minutes from everything Santa Cruz has to offer, this charming 3-bed/ 2 bath home delivers the best of both worlds. Recent updates include newly installed privacy gates, fenced in patio and lawn, increased parking spaces, two new skylights, roof and re-stained deck. Commuters will appreciate the unbeatable access to both Highway 17 and Highway 1, while weekends are best spent unwinding in the garden, where mature landscaping and trees create an outdoor sanctuary, or exploring the Redwood Grove. Inside, the thoughtfully designed tri-level floor plan is filled with natural light and offers generous space to spread out. Cozy up next to one of the two fireplaces during the cooler months. A flex room adapts effortlessly to your lifestyle whether you want a home library, playroom, or movie room, the possibilities are yours to define. Beyond your doorstep, the best of Santa Cruz awaits: tee off at De LaVeaga, groceries at Shopper's Corner, explore hiking and mountain biking trails, school pickup or drop off at Happy Valley Elementary or Harbor High, or the stunning beaches. Ample room to build an ADU for long-term guests or to offset your mortgage with rental income.
