Remarks

Welcome to 1532 Escalona Dr., a classic 1940s Traditional Santa Cruz bungalow oozing with charm in an epic Upper Westside location. This 2BR/1BA home with a detached structure and huge entertainer's deck is the perfect entry-level or downsizing opportunity for those seeking the convenience of single-level living in an amenity-rich location. The eat-in kitchen has butcher block counters, a huge pantry, and farm-style sink & opens to the spacious living room w/ new luxury vinyl plank flooring, anchored by a wood burning fireplace and a huge picture window perfect for a reading nook or conversation corner. Two nice-sized bedrooms share the updated bathroom, and the 1-car garage provides covered parking plus a lofted storage area. The detached structure could be rebuilt to become an ADU, and the huge entertainer's deck is perfect for summer BBQs and al fresco dining. A short stroll to Almar Center, Natural Bridges, W Cliff Dr., Wilder Ranch, and UCSC. Zoned for Westlake Elementary School.
