About This Home
As of July 2021Charming and quaint, this 1940s property is the perfect weekend escape. Located just a few blocks from the iconic Capitola Village this 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage has been well maintained and features updates that include vinyl plank flooring throughout, new quartz countertops, and a newly tiled walk-in shower. Outside in your private backyard enjoy a BBQ on the patio, relaxing in a hammock on your low-maintenance artificial turf or rinse off from a surf sesh in the outdoor shower. The detached office and laundry rooms afford extra living and storage space. Weekend mornings enjoy the short 2-minute walk away to the famous Gayle's Bakery before you stroll through Capitola Village. Meanwhile, everyday conveniences can be found nearby on 41st and Bay Avenues while fine-dining at Shadowbrook Restaurant is just a short distance away. This property would be great for someone looking to plant their roots here or someone looking for that perfect Capitola get-away!
