About This Home
As of June 2025Tucked discreetly behind hedges on coveted Ocean View Ave. sits 311-313 Ocean View Ave., an impeccably built 1885 Victorian featuring 4BR + Office/3.5BA in the main house plus a 1BR/1BA legal guest house with a separate address. Sited on over half an acre of usable land with views from downtown Santa Cruz to the Boardwalk to Monterey, this is one of the Grande Dames of Ocean View Ave., updated with todays modern amenities, yet with an eye toward maintaining the key design elements of the Victorian era. From the formal entry with original windows to the parlor with oversized pocket doors, high ceilings and picture rails, this property oozes warmth, charm, and character. With over 3,000 sq. ft. in the main house, not including the huge unfinished basement and a guest house of nearly 800 square feet perfect for multigenerational living, extended stay visitors, or rental income, this one has space for your friends, family, toys, and garden parties. The three bedrooms plus an office upstairs balance large-scale living spaces and ground-floor en suite bedroom, and both levels have easy access to great outdoor entertaining areas. Well-known as the best Trick-or-Treating block in the area, this one is a true Treat!
