About This Home

As of April 2026

Tucked away near the heart of Soquel with glimpses of the magnificent Pacific Ocean, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home has been tastefully updated throughout, including fresh interior and exterior paint. Home chefs will delight in the gourmet kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances and updated hardware perfect for preparing a picnic before heading to New Brighton State Beach, just minutes away. The thoughtfully designed floor plan places the kitchen and living room along the southwest-facing side of the home, flooding both spaces with soft, golden evening light. Just imagine preparing a meal in the refreshed kitchen while guests enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony. Upstairs, the primary suite provides excellent separation from the additional bedrooms located on the lower level. The spacious terraced backyard is adorned with mature landscaping, including fruit-bearing lemon trees and ample patio space ideal for hosting a summer BBQ after a day at the beach. The homes location offers impeccable access to everything the area has to offer: the picturesque Capitola Village, Gayles Bakery, HOME Restaurant in Soquel, world-renowned outdoor recreation in The Forest of Nisene Marks, and convenient commute access to Silicon Valley and beyond.
