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.
