About This Home

As of July 2025

One of Watsonvilles best kept secrets, this peaceful setting enjoys full sunshine, a nearby elementary school, a short drive to restaurants and shopping and a neighborhood with pride of ownership. This spacious single level home rests on an oversized lot with a large flat backyard and patio, and side yard with space for an oversized vehicle. The inviting and functional layout is filled with plenty of natural light, separate living and family room areas, a wood burning fireplace and bay window with seating overlooking the front yard. The expansive kitchen has a large island, lots of storage, a cute built-in breakfast nook and a garden window with a view of the backyard and Watsonville hills beyond. The 4th bedroom could also be a den/office and there is lots of flexible space that allows for a variety of living options. Upgraded waterproof flooring throughout the home, new stylish hardware and light fixtures, beautiful hand crafted cedar barn door, walk-in closet in the primary bedroom, and new exterior paint and fencing are just some of the ways this home stands out. Come see this South county gem!
