Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1982 (42 years old), the home is well-maintained but dated. While it features newer flooring and stainless steel appliances, the kitchen and bathrooms show original-style cabinetry and older tile/laminate countertops that require modernization. The property is move-in ready but falls into the 'Fair' category due to the age of the primary systems and fixtures exceeding 20 years.
Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable Live Oak neighborhood, the property offers excellent proximity to Santa Cruz beaches, local parks, and community amenities.
The layout features a convenient downstairs primary suite and three additional upstairs bedrooms, providing ideal flexibility for multi-generational living or remote work.
Offering four bedrooms and three full bathrooms within 1,680 square feet, the home maximizes interior space to accommodate larger households efficiently.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =2570, other record lot size in square feet = 1176.
The 2,570 square foot lot is relatively small for a detached single-family residence, which limits private outdoor space and may result in closer proximity to neighboring homes.
Built in 1982, the property may require capital investment to update original finishes and systems to meet the aesthetic and efficiency standards of modern buyers.
Tucked quietly at the end of a peaceful cul de sac in Santa Cruz's beloved Live Oak neighborhood, 1727 Foster Court feels like the kind of home where life naturally unfolds. Mornings begin slowly in the downstairs primary suite, a comfortable retreat offering convenience and separation from the rest of the home. Sunlight drifts through the living spaces as coffee brews and the day eases into motion. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms create flexibility for growing households, guests, hobbies, or work from home life. Step outside and the story continues. The functional yard offers space to gather, garden, play, or simply enjoy warm evenings under the coastal sky. Weekend barbecues, kids and pets at play, or a quiet afternoon with a good book all feel right at home here. It is a space designed for real life. Perfectly positioned in Live Oak, you are moments from beaches, neighborhood parks, local favorites, and all the charm that makes this Santa Cruz community so special.
