About This Home
As of October 2025Fantastic location near Santa Cruz High School, where you can stroll to downtown, Santa Cruz Mission Park and close-by beaches and abundant shopping. One block from Hwy 1 for easy commuter access to Silicon Valley. Ideal for UCSC and staff. Bus stop at end of common driveway. This two bedroom, two bath ground floor condo is part of small, eight unit condo complex with an easy-going, well managed HOA. Feels more like a townhouse than a condo. As you enter this house, you’re greeted by a spacious entry closet and spacious living/dining room with gas fireplace. The kitchen features an electric stove, double sink with disposal, ample cabinet space and a breakfast nook. The two large bedrooms feature full size closets with mirror sliding doors. The bathrooms include a full bath and an adjacent half-bath just off the hallway. Two hall closets offer plenty of room. There is a small backyard with a deck. The unit features a one car garage with adjacent storage/laundry room
