Welcome to this charming 2 bed, 1.5 bath home set in the vibrant city of Santa Cruz. We feature a functional galley kitchen with an adjacent staging area, so meal prep is a breeze. The home offers a variety of flooring options, featuring hand selected Saltillo tile & hardwood, allowing for both comfort and style throughout. A cozy Taos feel fireplace enhances the ambiance of the separate living room, perfect for relaxing evenings. The garage conversion & added sun room offer pure natural light for the artist, while dual sets of French doors give direct access to the yard and easy care gardens created over the last 30 years. Possibly Santa Cruz City's largest fruit bearing avocado trees is one of the jewels of the property, balanced by an equally magnificent Magnolia to provide gentle shade all year. Additional amenities include a skylight, providing natural light & brightening the home. For your convenience, laundry facilities are available with gas hookups in the outside utility room. Though there is no garage, a shed offers extra storage space. Enjoy the laid-back lifestyle & community vibe that Santa Cruz has to offer in this well-located & comfortable home.
