Property is move-in ready.
The property is well-maintained and move-in ready. It features a high-end, recently remodeled bathroom with modern fixtures and a freestanding tub. While the kitchen is functional with newer appliances, the tile countertops and cabinetry style are dated. The living areas have been updated with modern flooring, recessed lighting, and decorative wainscoting, offsetting the 1978 build date.
Situated in a coveted historic district within the desirable Westlake school system, this property offers exceptional walkability to downtown Santa Cruz's vibrant dining, shopping, and amenities.
A rare find for townhomes, featuring a 2-car garage plus a negotiable carport for 3 total off-street spots, paired with a very low $150 monthly HOA fee in a small 3-unit complex.
The property boasts outdoor space that exceeds typical townhouse expectations, including a private rear deck for relaxation and a beautifully maintained shared front yard.
With a list price of $1,195,000 for 1,278 square feet, the property sits at a high price point per square foot, which may be a hurdle for value-conscious buyers.
Being a middle unit, the home shares walls on both sides and likely lacks side-facing windows, which can limit natural light and privacy compared to end-unit or detached homes.
331 Walnut Ave is a unicorn among townhouses, a rare find in one of Santa Cruz's most coveted locations.
