Remarks

Designed by an award-winning architect James Pandolfi as his personal residence, and featured in Sunset magazine, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-level home blends midcentury style with modern comfort. Great commute location and just minutes from beaches, downtown Santa Cruz, and top-rated Brook Knoll Elementary. Inside, vaulted ceilings and expansive windows fill the home with natural light and frame forest views. The open living, dining, and chefs kitchen flow effortlessly to spacious patios, inviting seamless indoor-outdoor living. The primary suite features a spa-inspired slate bath with a freestanding tub, open shower, and a walk-in closet. Two bedrooms, a mudroom, and a bright sunroom complete the thoughtful and versatile floor plan. Two elegant wood gates welcome you into a garden that includes a pergola tucked into a private nook, along with a freestanding storage structure, garden shed, and wood shed, perfectly placed throughout the yard. With upgrades like solar panels, a newer roof, tankless water heater, and updated systems, plus a 2-car garage, this home offers both timeless design and modern efficiency. A rare architectural gem in a beloved neighborhood.
