About This Home

As of October 2023

Discover the vibrant heart of Soquel as you step into this duet-style home on a private, non-thru street. Warmth and style greet you with wood ceiling beams and a fireplace. The kitchen is a chef's delight with granite countertops and a breakfast bar, an open-concept dining experience with a mini butler's pantry to boast. Slide the glass doors from ground floor bedroom to the back patio overlooking Soquel Creek. Retreat to the primary bedroom, boasting charming blue tile details in the ensuite, a mirror closet plus walk-in closet, and a private entry to a sunroom/ deck. The expanded driveway can easily fit a large travel trailer or boat. Venture to The Farm Park & Community Center, Land of the Medicine Buddha, or Nisene Marks. Experience Soquel's vibrant lifestyle, with dining spots like The Bagelry, Café Cruz, and other essential shops. Head to the beach, explore the coast via Highway 1 or take the back way over the hill through Old San Jose via Bay/ Porter Ave.
