Santa Cruz, California 95062
Fifty feet from the sand in a small, private beachfront enclave, this unusually spacious ocean view home offers a lifestyle most people only dream about. Step outside and you'll hear the waves before you see them, as you take the short walk to the water's edge to watch the surfers working the famous break at 26th Avenue. This is the beach lifestyle people across the country chase. Wake to the sun rising over Monterey Bay, grab your coffee, and wander down to the grassy bluff above the surf line, where whales, otters, and dolphins put on a daily show. Paddle out to one of the best shortboard breaks in Santa Cruz, or watch the locals carve it up while the tide rolls in. When the fog drifts through, the covered and enclosed patios keep the party going. Pleasure Point's shops, cafes, and coastal trail are all just a stroll away. Here the car sits parked for days because everything worth having, the beach, the break, the bakery, the neighbors who become friends, beckons just outside your door. Full time residence, family beach retreat, or the place you finally slow down and let the ocean set your schedule, this is the coastal life buyers spend years searching for. Homes in this tiny community almost never come to market, so don't miss your chance to live the dream in Santa Cruz.
