Located in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Boulder Creek, sits this sweet single level home, Just a few blocks to picturesque downtown BC yet feels like you are worlds away in a beautiful redwood forest. Updated with a modern kitchen, remodeled bathrooms and new flooring within the last 5 yrs, this home mixes plenty of sun and shade with a spacious living room with high open beam ceilings and lots of glass to take in the forest views. Interior and huge deck were just given a fresh coat of paint. Newer HVAC, generator & Septic system all done within the last 5 years. Bonus room and sun room offer great flex space to work from home, set up an art studio or home gym/yoga studio. Large forest view deck expands your living space. Plenty of off street parking including an attached oversized one car garage. Enjoy the beauty of nature from this wonderful home. Easy commute to Silicon Valley or Santa Cruz. Gated entrance and nice spot on top of the driveway w/ a shed but ideal for an ADU or extra parking for RV or boat. Take advantage of this wonderful home on a large lot that was intended to be a "forever home" but now is priced to sell as sellers need to relocate for work.

Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7405, living area = 1166.
Extensive Recent Updates: Modern kitchen, remodeled bathrooms, new flooring, fresh paint, newer HVAC, generator, and septic system all within the last 5 years, offering move-in readiness and reduced immediate maintenance.
Flexible Living Spaces: Two bonus rooms and a sunroom provide versatile options for home office, gym, or art studio, enhancing functionality beyond the stated bedroom count.
Desirable Location & Natural Ambiance: Situated in a top Boulder Creek neighborhood, offering a serene redwood forest setting just blocks from downtown, with easy commutes to Silicon Valley and Santa Cruz.
Enhanced Outdoor Living & Expansion Potential: Features a large, freshly painted deck for expanded living, a generous lot, and a prime spot for an ADU or additional parking (RV/boat).
Key Infrastructure Modernization: Significant investments in a newer HVAC, generator, and septic system provide modern comfort, reliability, and peace of mind for essential home systems.

Cons

Limited Primary Living Space: At 1166 sqft, the core living area is relatively compact for a single-family home, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking more expansive interiors, despite the bonus rooms.
Age of Original Structure: While extensively updated, the underlying 1960 construction may still present potential for older structural or system components not addressed in recent renovations, requiring future consideration.
Seller's Urgency & Price Reduction: The 'priced to sell as sellers need to relocate' combined with a recent price reduction from $839,000 to $799,000 suggests a motivated seller, which could be perceived as a negotiation opportunity but also implies a need for a quick transaction.
