Located in the beautiful, sunny Happy Valley neighborhood of Santa Cruz, this charming 3 bed/2.5 bath home is situated on over an acre of gorgeous land. Imagine spending warm summer nights unwinding in the hot tub surrounded by redwood trees, or enjoying a refreshing beverage on the patio while listening to the symphony of forest birds. The property is full of character & upgrades, including an electric car charger & a separate detached hobby studio, and fully remodeled Kohler bathroom upstairs. Crafted from timber milled right on the property, the house feels uniquely tied to its natural surroundings. Inside, a bonus flex loft offers the perfect space for a WFH office, a cozy library, or a playroom. During the cooler months curl up next to the inviting wood burning stove with a good book. Spend your weekends relaxing among the trees or working in the garden, then host friends for dinner on the spacious deck as the stars come out. The primary suite offers a quiet retreat from the bustle of daily life, complete w/a spa-inspired bathroom w/a rain shower head & plenty of closet space. Great location just minutes from Santa Cruz beaches & major commute routes, easy access to great restaurants, Shoppers Corner & Scotts Valley Market, hiking, mountain biking, golf, & disc golf courses.
