Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1996, this property is well-maintained but shows its age in key areas. While the living spaces feature updated laminate flooring and the description notes 'very well maintained,' the kitchen, with its tiled countertops, tiled flooring, and dated fluorescent lighting, indicates it has not undergone a major renovation in recent years. The stainless steel appliances are a positive update, but the overall kitchen aesthetic is outdated. This aligns with a 'Fair' condition, where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, and minor updates or repairs are required to modernize.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location & Walkability: The property boasts an outstanding location with short walks to UCSC main campus, Westlake Park, Westlake Elementary school, various trails, and is conveniently located up the hill from Natural Bridges State Beach.
Modern & Bright Interior Design: Features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light, creating a spacious and inviting living environment.
Well-Maintained Condition: Described as 'very well maintained,' indicating good upkeep and potentially reducing immediate repair or renovation costs for a new owner.
Practical Amenities: Includes a detached two-car garage and a decent-sized backyard or patio area, offering valuable utility and outdoor living space.
Strong School Proximity: Located within walking distance to highly-rated Westlake Elementary (7/10) and Mission Hill Middle (6/10), and close to Santa Cruz High (8/10), making it ideal for families.
Cons
Attached Single-Family Home: While a single-family residence, its 'attached' nature may be a drawback for buyers seeking complete privacy and no shared walls typically associated with fully detached homes.
Compact Lot Size: The 3223 sq ft lot is relatively small for a single-family home of this size, potentially limiting extensive outdoor activities or future expansion possibilities.
Monthly Association Fee: A recurring monthly association fee of $320.0 adds to the overall cost of homeownership, which could be a consideration for some buyers.
