About This Home

As of July 2025

Morning fog below, sunshine above, hot tub ready. Welcome to the microclimate sweet spot that most people completely miss. This Westside location cracked the weather code while everyone else settles for gloomy mornings. Your outdoor shower handles post-beach rinses. The well-maintained backyard creates the perfect entertaining space. Solar panels pay for themselves as you're busy living the good life. The whole family can e-bike anywhere on the Westside easily, with Westlake Park and Moore Creek Preserve creating an outdoor playground right in your neighborhood. Quartz counters survive family chaos. Fireplace warms winter evenings. The front yard looks like someone cares, and the back deck earns its keep during bbq season. Plenty of storage handles all the gear that comes with California living. You get Westlake school district quality with UCSC close by for all the cultural and recreational opportunities that it brings. When you're sitting on that back deck with your morning coffee, watching the fog drift by below while planning your family's beach day, you'll understand why some properties just feel right from the moment you step inside.
