Remarks

Ideally located on Santa Cruz's desirable upper Westside, this classic 1949 home is filled with original character & timeless appeal. Set back from the street, the property offers a sense of privacy & a quiet, tucked-away feel. Hardwood floors extend through the living room, dining area, hallway & bedrooms. The living room features a fireplace, coved ceilings & a large picture window that fills the home with natural light. Through a classic archway, the adjoining dining area with coved ceilings continues the home's vintage charm. The light & bright kitchen celebrates the late-1940s with classic tile. The hall bath preserves its original pink & black tile & vanity. The primary bedroom includes an en suite bath with a stall shower. A third bedroom opens to a sunroom with floor-to-ceiling windows, ideal as an office or art studio, with direct access to the backyard. A covered rear patio houses the laundry. The private backyard offers space for entertaining, gardening or relaxation. The setting is enhanced by a patio, pergola & room for your vision. A large detached two-car garage completes the property. Just minutes from West Cliff Drive, UCSC, beaches, parks, markets, restaurants, top-rated schools & commute routes. A wonderful Westside opportunity in a truly exceptional location.
