About This Home

As of January 2024

Immaculate, recently remodeled unit with new floors and paint. Spacious 600sf, with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, huge pantry, generous bathroom with tub and dual head shower. Views of the garden and greenbelt. Convenient and quiet 2nd story location right next to the elevator. Excellent opportunity to downsize and live easy. Could be a great 2nd home in Santa Cruz or rental for age 62+. Large community room, garden, storage area, and visitor parking. Very well kept community in a great midtown location. Close to Capitola, shops, beach, Hwy 1, and Dominican Hospital. This is NOT a Measure J unit, so therefore no income or pricing restrictions.
