Why choose between the beach, the harbor, and nature when you can have all three? Tucked inside a peaceful gated community, with beautifully maintained grounds, this tastefully updated home puts the very best of Santa Cruz just outside your door. Step directly into Arana Gulch for scenic trails and access to Seabright amenities, or wander to the Santa Cruz Harbor for coffee, fresh seafood, waterfront dining, live music, and colorful sunsets. Skip the city streets altogether and stroll to Twin Lakes & Seabright Beaches both less than a mile away. Every day feels like a vacation! Inside: fresh interior paint, new luxury flooring and lighting, updated bathrooms, a refreshed kitchen, newer stainless steel appliances, & a generous island that opens to dining and living area, with a wood burning fireplace, and private patio that is ideal for BBQs, morning coffee, or unwinding after a day at the beach. Upstairs, the sunny oversized primary suite includes high ceilings, an en-suite bath, skylight, two closets, & a private balcony. The 2nd BR with walk-in closet also includes bonus storage space. A 2 car garage offers plenty of room for surfboards, bikes, kayaks, & all your beach toys. Whether it's sunrise walks, harbor nights, or spontaneous beach days, this is SC living at its best.
