About This Home

331 Walnut Ave is a unicorn among townhouses, a rare find in one of Santa Cruz's most coveted locations. A short stroll through the charming historic district brings you straight to downtown, where exciting new development is transforming an already vibrant neighborhood. All your needs are within walking distance, from restaurants & coffee shops to yoga studios & retail shops. Zoned in the desirable Westlake school system, this home checks a box that many buyers can't find this close to the center of town. This property has a 2-car garage plus a negotiable additional carport space, 3 off-street spots. The HOA is small, with only two other units. Outdoor space far exceeds what you'd expect from a townhome, with a beautifully maintained shared front yard & a lovely private back deck perfect for relaxing. The temperature in the home is easy to control as the middle unit. The cozy fireplace keeps your living room warm in the winter but stays comfortably cool even on the hottest days of summer. Upstairs, the recently remodeled bathroom is your skylight bathtub spa day oasis. Whether you're relocating for work, school, lifestyle, or just want to be in the heart of it all the townhouse deserves your attention. Ideal for those seeking a relaxed coastal lifestyle with urban convenience.
