About This Home
As of May 2025This home has AMAZING potential with great bones. The kitchen flows nicely into the generous living room. There are two primary suites upstairs, both with en-suite bathrooms. One of the primary suites has a balcony with views of the greenspace out back. A half bath off of the kitchen is perfect for entertaining. The downstairs area is torn up, but there is a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette/wet bar area, living space, and sliding glass doors to the backyard. This could be perfect for an ADU or mother-in-law space. With a little TLC, this property will be a standout in one of the best neighborhoods in Santa Cruz. There is a County park, beautiful hiking trails (that connect to access the Chaminade Resort), and a highly-rated elementary school. Residents of this neighborhood have pride in ownership, and it shows.
