Remarks

Welcome to one of the most sought-after, popular neighborhoods in Santa Cruz. Just a short walk to Seabright Beach and the harbor. Opportunity plus! Three separate older homes on one lot. The lot runs to the next street (2nd Ave). The addresses are 250 and 252 1st Ave. and 251 2nd Ave. The large 7500 sq. ft. lot could be developed or you could Rehab all three of them. The house at 250 1st Ave is the only one vacant and being shown right now. This property owned by the same family for almost 50 years. This is a Trust Sale.
