Enjoy life in this Neo Victorian masterpiece meticulously designed and built by the architect for his own use. Soaring ceilings over the entry and living room impart a modern feel, with a split plan offering you the option of retiring to its sumptuous oversize bedroom lounges awaiting at the top of the stairs, or flowing effortlessly down to a dining room and kitchen suite designed for memorable dinner parties. Just beyond, the private backyard offers a sun-soaked retreat with a paved footpath to a "bonus bedroom" cottage, that occupies what once served as the home's garage, with sufficient storage space left to add its own kitchen and bath for a full-scale ADU. Throughout the home, thoughtful built-ins provide a touch of elegance, offering storage for books and linens. The neighborhood, rich with historic charm, boasts classic Victorians and a welcoming, timeless atmosphere. Hop on your bike, and you'll have easy access to the city's vibrant heart, whether you're exploring downtown or heading over to the West End. This home offers the perfect balance of comfort, character, and an unbeatable location in one of Santa Cruz's most desirable areas, poised on the outskirts of downtown, tucked away on a tree-lined street that helps transport you away from the surrounding world.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
