About This Home

As of July 2022

First block off Westcliff Drive! You can stand in the front yard and see the Pacific Ocean. The location of this house is exceptional-10 houses to the water and the 3 mile run/walk path offering uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean and Monterey Bay. Natural Bridges State Beach is a 10 minute walk away. The house isn't your typical ranch. It has a mini vaulted ceiling, skylights, new gas fireplace surround and insert and large 6x6 foot windows in 2 of the bedrooms. It's 2 car garage and fenced in back yard and proximity to the ocean make it a perfect home or 2nd home. Sliding glass doors to the back patio off the den bring the outside in on those beautiful Santa Cruz days. You can sometimes hear the sea gulls and sea lions. The back yard has an apple and a plum tree. Mature camellia bushes, passion flower vines and defined flower beds are a perfect setting for the next stage of flowers and landscaping.
