About This Home
As of December 2020Unique in Santa Cruz is the friendly beach village of La Selva with private beach access residents can make the most of coastal living. At the end of a centrally located cul de sac, this single level home, extensively remodeled and expanded in 2005, is perfect for entertaining. The kitchen which was remodeled only 5 years ago is a chefs dream with top end appliances. The open flow to the dining area and living room invites everyone in. Or step outside onto the deck and access the outside dining/BBQ area or firepit. The master suite boasts two walk-in closets. The other two bedrooms and bathrooms are generously sized. Plus, a bonus room for office or 4th bedroom. While the garage, still with working door, has been finished off and carpeted to function as a game room. Whether you want the extra fun space or would rather use as a garage, it is up to you. The large driveway has plenty of off-street parking and there is plenty of storage.
