Santa Cruz, California 95060
A rare opportunity to own a beautifully reimagined residence within historic Piedmont Court, one of Santa Cruz's architectural treasures. Built in the Mission Revival style with Moorish influences, the landmark building features graceful arches, towers, balconies, verandas, an inviting courtyard, and gardens. Thoughtfully designed by Suna Lock of Viewpoint Design (formerly Stripe Design), this light-filled studio honors its historic setting while introducing a refined, modern sensibility. Custom Melim Woodworking cabinetry anchors the kitchen, complemented by a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Fisher & Paykel microwave/convection oven, and induction cooktop. A separate sleeping area features a built-in bed with extra storage, while LVP flooring flows throughout the living areas. The beautifully appointed bath pairs local Fireclay tile with handmade floor tile and includes striking brass lighting and fixtures, and a generous walk-in shower with a built-in bench. Gracious, inviting common areas, assigned garage parking, and additional storage complete this artistic, cozy home, ideally situated near Downtown Santa Cruz, UCSC, beaches, dining, shopping, and all that Santa Cruz has to offer.
Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although built in 1912, the unit has undergone a high-end designer renovation within the last 5 years. It features a modern kitchen with premium Sub-Zero and Fisher & Paykel appliances, new LVP flooring, and a completely remodeled bathroom with designer Fireclay tile and brass fixtures, putting it in mint condition.
Situated within the iconic Piedmont Court, this residence offers rare Mission Revival and Moorish architectural character, providing a prestigious and unique living environment that stands out in the Santa Cruz market.
The interior features a sophisticated reimagining by Viewpoint Design, utilizing premium materials like Sub-Zero appliances, custom Melim Woodworking cabinetry, and local Fireclay tile to create a luxury boutique aesthetic.
Ideally located near UCSC and Downtown Santa Cruz, the property includes the significant added value of assigned garage parking and additional storage, which are highly coveted features for urban studio living.
At just 345 square feet, the compact studio layout significantly restricts furniture options and may pose challenges for long-term livability or buyers requiring more space.
The association fee of $796 per month is substantial for a studio unit, which may impact overall affordability and reduce the property's appeal to yield-focused investors.
