About This Home

As of August 2021

This is the mid century modern home in the banana belt of Prospect Heights you've been wishing for!! This home boasts the Eichler stylings that are unique and in demand. From this home you will easily access the downtown and beaches of beautiful Santa Cruz while also enjoying the quiet of being just blocks away from the DeLaVeaga golf course. The outdoors and indoors meld perfectly with all the natural light exposing windows, high ceilings, and earthy architectural surfaces. Radiant floor heating eliminates the unsightly wall heaters or air registers while keeping living space comfortable year round. This is a corner lot with more than enough access for guest parking and off street parking of your recreational vehicles.
