Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1979, the property is well-maintained as a functional rental but shows significant signs of age. The kitchen and bathrooms feature dated aesthetics, including tile countertops, older oak-style cabinetry, and basic white/black appliances rather than modern stainless steel. While the home is 'turnkey' for an investor, the presence of popcorn ceilings, older light fixtures, and mixed flooring suggests it has not undergone a comprehensive renovation in the last 15-20 years.
The property generates a reliable $4,800 monthly rental income with long-term tenants already in place, offering a turnkey investment with stabilized returns from day one.
The RL zoning provides a significant value-add opportunity, allowing for potential density increases or future development in a high-demand coastal market.
Situated in East Santa Cruz, the property benefits from a supply-starved market with historically low vacancy rates and strong long-term appreciation potential.
The shared driveway arrangement with the neighboring property at 315 Jessie St. may present privacy concerns or future maintenance coordination challenges.
Because the property is sold with long-term tenants in place, it is less attractive to owner-occupant buyers seeking immediate residency, potentially narrowing the pool of prospective purchasers.
