* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is new construction or fully renovated.
While built in 1993, the home has undergone recent high-end renovations (likely <5 years) including a modern kitchen with shaker cabinetry and stone backsplashes, and fully remodeled bathrooms with contemporary tile work and fixtures. The interior shows mint condition with updated flooring, fresh paint, and a finished attic, meeting the criteria for a recently renovated property requiring no maintenance.
Situated in the highly desirable Live Oak neighborhood, the property offers exceptional proximity to world-class beaches, surfing, and Capitola Village, epitomizing the sought-after Santa Cruz lifestyle.
The home features a recently updated kitchen and fully remodeled bathrooms, including a primary suite with a stylish tiled walk-in shower and high-end finishes, ensuring a move-in-ready experience.
A finished attic provides valuable flexible square footage that can serve as a home office, media room, or fitness area, significantly maximizing the utility of the home's footprint.
At 1,435 square feet, the interior living space may feel somewhat constrained for larger families or those requiring expansive common areas compared to other homes in this price bracket.
The listing price of $1.38M represents a high price per square foot, which may be a barrier for value-driven buyers despite the premium location and recent upgrades.
Rarely does a home become available that offers such an exceptional combination of location, lifestyle, and value. Nestled in Santa Cruz's highly desirable Live Oak neighborhood, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is just minutes from world-class beaches, surfing, Capitola Village, Midtown Santa Cruz, local restaurants, cafes, shopping, and scenic bike routes. Whether commuting over the hill or heading to the beach, this is the kind of location where you can park the car, grab your bike, and embrace the Santa Cruz lifestyle. Inside, the 1,435 SF home features an updated kitchen, remodeled guest bathroom, and a recently renovated primary bath with a tiled walk-in shower, new vanity, and stylish finishes. A finished attic provides flexible space for a home office, media room, playroom, fitness area, or storage. Outdoor spaces are equally inviting with a fully fenced yard ideal for children and pets, a sunny deck off the primary bedroom, and a spacious fenced front yard that extends the living space outdoors for entertaining or relaxing. Homes that combine an unbeatable Mid-County location, thoughtful updates, flexible living space, and the quintessential Santa Cruz lifestyle are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
