Situated in the highly desirable Upper Westside, the property offers exceptional proximity to UCSC, top-rated Westlake Elementary, and extensive nature preserves like Pogonip and Moore Creek.
The home features recent interior refreshments including fresh paint and new carpeting, allowing for an immediate transition without the need for initial renovation.
Residents enjoy serene greenbelt and arroyo views from the private rear deck, complemented by abundant natural light and a peek of the ocean from the upper level.
At $827 per month, the association fees are significantly high, which may impact the overall affordability and debt-to-income ratio for prospective buyers.
