Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1999, is in well-maintained, move-in-ready condition but lacks modern updates. The kitchen and bathrooms feature original 90s-style oak cabinetry, tile countertops, and white appliances that, while functional, show their age. The interior features standard carpeting and track lighting consistent with its construction year. Additionally, the listing notes that a detached bonus studio requires a full renovation, placing the overall property condition in the 'Fair' category as an aged but functional home needing cosmetic modernization.
The property features two legal residences, including a main 3-bedroom home and a secondary unit currently generating $1,225 in monthly rental income, providing an excellent opportunity for mortgage offset or investment.
Rare for Santa Cruz, the property offers an oversized 2-car shop/garage for the main house, a separate 1-car garage for the second unit, and additional off-street parking for three more vehicles.
A detached bonus office/art studio provides significant upside potential for renovation or conversion into a third unit, allowing the owner to further increase the property's utility and value.
The detached studio has been unused for years and requires a full renovation, which may necessitate immediate capital expenditure and construction management from the buyer.
With nearly 200 days on the market and a previous price reduction, the property may carry a market stigma that requires a strategic approach to final negotiations.
