About This Home
As of March 2025At the end of a quiet country road in South Santa Cruz County you will discover the community of Sunset Beach, a private and secluded hilltop enclave of homes nestled among Monterey Pines and overlooking the Blue Pacific. Perched on a hill with whitewater views 74 Sunset Drive offers a coastal sanctuary that is architecturally unique and features a versatile floorplan to engage your creative imagination. The main living and kitchen areas highlight the beach view with a large bay window and sliding glass doors bringing in ample natural light. Warm up next to the wood burning fireplace or step out onto the deck and breathe in the fresh ocean air and take in the sounds of the sea. Leave the hustle and bustle and hectic pace of modern life behind and embrace the peaceful serenity of this special property. The spacious feel of the living room and kitchen is enhanced by vaulted ceilings, an upstairs loft with skylight, full bathroom and additional storage options. Downstairs are two bedrooms with a shared full bathroom, laundry room and access to the ocean view deck. The two car attached garage with automatic door openers will protect your cars from the elements and add to the driveway parking. Recent upgrades include a new roof and interior and exterior cleaning and painting.
