About This Home
As of July 2020This is a rare opportunity to own property in a location others only dream of. Just a few properties off W Cliff Dr, this ideal location offers all the benefits of the W Cliff Santa Cruz premiere neighborhood without the traffic of being on the main thoroughfare. Imagine the lifestyle you can have living by the sea & walking/biking the ocean-front W Cliff promenade, home to the world famous Steamer Lane surf spot, Lighthouse Field Park & Natural Bridges Park. Ride your bike along paved paths to Wilder State Park, where there are miles of scenic bike trails. Watch the sun set from your ocean view deck as boats cruise by, gray whales spout & Humpbacks breach. It is common to see whales - even from the shower window! The famous Stockton Avenue surf break is one block south, and when the swell is big, surfers can be seen surfing off the end of Merced Ave. Come see this special home with it's close up ocean views & you will never want to leave.
