When you find a home you can walk or bike to the best of what Santa Cruz has to offer; West Cliff's scenic paths and beaches, a lively downtown community of great food, music and art, the local market and top K-12 schools, you know you've found an idyllic lifestyle to last a lifetime. For 5 decades, this California-style single-level bungalow (with a loft) has been cherished by one family maintaining its charm and character while creating more permitted bedrooms and living space, synthesizing a 1930s home with a hip and practical 70s rustic Scandinavian-style addition. Through a handsome arched wood entry door you'll find a light-filled home with more interior arches, built-ins, stunning sconce lighting, gleaming wood floors, travertine, marble, granite, stone, stainless steel, pebble floors, gorgeous double pane wood windows, the largest barn door I've ever seen, and heaps of flexible space conducive to what your life needs. While there may be real development potential to convert the addition to an ADU and other building possibilities, moving straight in is an easy feat. The front and back yards are landscaped with drought-tolerant plants, a bubbling fountain and citrus fruit trees, while the side yard is a blank slate affording potential to add more outdoor entertaining space.
