About This Home
As of July 2025Imagine waking up to the ocean breeze, walking through your own redwood groves before lunch, and taking Zoom calls from your sun-drenched home office. This custom Spanish-style artisan retreat sits on nearly 5 acres in Santa Cruz Gardens, offering breathtaking forest and wilderness views that make you feel as if you're floating above the treetops. The expansive open floor plan is anchored by a stunning, recently remodeled kitchen - one of the most beautiful and functional spaces you'll find - featuring a 6-person island, high-end fixtures, a dedicated beverage station, and a thoughtfully designed baking station. The private ground floor master bedroom wing offers a peaceful retreat, set apart from the rest of the home for added serenity. A flexible office area can serve as a playroom or be converted into a 4th bedroom. Outdoor living shines with a large private patio for entertaining, raised garden beds, and direct access to scenic Chaminade trails. Walk to Santa Cruz Gardens Elementary, reach the beach and downtown Santa Cruz in 10 minutes, and enjoy quick access to shopping, Dominican Hospital, and Hwy 1 in under 5 minutes. Live where others vacation - this is life in Santa Cruz, where you don't have to choose between career and lifestyle.
