Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1977 but features updated flooring, kitchen, and bathrooms. The interior appears well-maintained and move-in ready, consistent with a 5-15 year renovation cycle as evidenced by the functional but slightly dated cabinetry and fixtures.
Ideally situated within walking distance to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and downtown, offering a vibrant lifestyle while maintaining a rare, quiet residential atmosphere.
The home features modern updates to the flooring, kitchen, and both bathrooms, providing a move-in-ready experience that eliminates the need for immediate renovations.
Located in an exclusive gated complex of only 20 units, ensuring enhanced privacy, security, and a sense of community for residents.
The monthly association fee of $690 is relatively high, which may impact the overall affordability and debt-to-income ratio for potential buyers.
Persistent GPS mapping inaccuracies and the specific tucked-away positioning within the complex may create confusion for visitors and potential buyers during initial showings.
Peaceful, tucked away townhome just minutes from the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and downtown. Updated 2 bed / 2 bath townhome at 136 A Canfield offers the Santa Cruz lifestyle without the constant noise and traffic. The way the complex sits off the main streets creates a quiet, residential feel even though you are so close to the sand, Wharf, shops and restaurants. Inside, approx. 1,198 sq ft has updated flooring, kitchen, and two full baths so you can move right in and start enjoying beach town living instead of renovating. Light, open living area connects to a private outdoor space for morning coffee, WFH days or relaxing after a surf session. Two roomy and comfortable bedrooms provide great separation of space for guests, roommates or a home office. UCSC students and faculty will appreciate easy access to downtown Santa Cruz transit routes up to campus plus the ability to walk or bike to coffee, groceries and the Boardwalk, then come home to a quieter street that feels worlds away from the late night scene. An ideal home base in a gated complex of only 20 units. This is for anyone who wants surf, study and social life balanced with a calm place to land at the end of the day. Please note the GPS map is incorrect and that the location is at the northern part of complex.
