Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although built in 1961, the property has undergone a comprehensive 'top to bottom' remodel within the last 5 years. The interior features a gourmet kitchen with modern cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, fully updated contemporary bathrooms, new flooring, recessed lighting, and updated systems. The exterior shows new hardscaping and well-maintained decks, placing it in mint, move-in-ready condition.
The home has been fully updated from top to bottom with custom finishes, new landscaping, and a gourmet kitchen, offering a move-in-ready experience for discerning buyers.
Featuring two primary suites and a lower-level bedroom with a private entrance and wet bar, the layout is perfectly suited for extended family, long-term guests, or a sophisticated home office.
Situated in the desirable Santa Cruz Gardens, the property boasts stunning greenbelt vistas and immediate access to world-class hiking, biking, and surfing.
A significant $150,000 price reduction shortly after listing suggests the initial valuation may have been aggressive for the current market climate.
Despite the extensive cosmetic and functional remodel, the 1961 original construction may still present underlying infrastructure limitations inherent to older homes.
Tucked away in the quiet yet friendly neighborhood of Santa Cruz Gardens, this quintessential California 3-bed/3.5-bath home features fantastic curb appeal and stunning green belt vistas. Fully remodeled top to bottom with custom finishes, fresh coat of paint, new front door, and updated landscaping and hardscaping, including an inviting paver patio, set the stage for lazy afternoons enjoying a glass of iced tea on a warm spring day while greeting neighbors as they go by. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers two primary suites upstairs, one of which provides beautiful views of the greenbelt. With the kitchen and dining room overlooking the living room, you wont miss a moment of fun while preparing a delicious meal in the gourmet kitchen as guests cozy up by the fireplace. Downstairs, youll find a third bedroom with its own private entrance, plus a bonus flex space complete with a wet bar and fireplace, perfect for a Mad Men-inspired home office, long-term guests, or multigenerational living. The home also offers incredible access to world-class outdoor recreation, including mountain biking, hiking, and surfing, as well as grocery stores, hospitals, major commute routes, and more.
