About This Home

As of December 2021

This beauty will capture your heart. Contemporary living meets old world charm. Elegant Victorian era home with quintessential architectural characteristics like tall windows, high ceilings, detailed trim and hardwood flooring. This single level home was thoughtfully updated with a modern flair while maintaining a respect for its heritage. Private and fenced backyard provides a great space to garden and enjoy the outdoors. Located on a coveted street on the lower Westside of Santa Cruz. Above downtown but close to shopping, movie theaters and restaurants. This treasure is close to Neary Lagoon, West Cliff, Natural Bridges State Beach and a bike path that will take you all the way to Wilder Ranch. This is a great opportunity to own a piece of Santa Cruz history.
