The flexible floor plan includes two bedrooms, two full baths, and a loft-style office or sitting area. A private balcony provides a peaceful retreat overlooking the surrounding greenery. Additional features include an ATTACHED TWO CAR GARAGE and access to the beautifully maintained common areas. Further enhancing the property's appeal is a notably modest HOA FEE OF JUST $100. per month. Ideally located near Soquel Village, Capitola Village & Beach, shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation, this rare offering combines architectural pedigree, modern comfort, and an exceptional coastal lifestyle.
