Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1987 but shows evidence of significant renovations within the last 10-15 years. The kitchen features updated cabinetry, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances.

Situated just steps from the stairs to Blacks Beach, this home offers a quintessential Santa Cruz lifestyle where you can hear the ocean and walk to local amenities, including fine dining and the weekend farmer's market.
The residence features multiple outdoor living areas, including a breakfast deck, an expansive party deck for sunset views, and a charming herb garden, all designed to maximize natural light and coastal air.
The property includes a thoughtfully transformed garage with carriage doors and an additional outbuilding, providing flexible options for a home office, studio, or creative retreat beyond the primary 2,364 square feet.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
With 54 days on market and a cumulative price reduction of approximately $300,000 from the original list price, the property has struggled to find momentum in the current market climate.
The conversion of the traditional garage into a living or functional space may be a disadvantage for buyers prioritizing secure, covered vehicle storage in a high-demand beach neighborhood.
Reduced $249k! Exquisite Beach Home! Imagine hearing the ocean from your patio & through open windows, a constant, calming reminder that you are exactly where you want to be. Here mornings begin with the rising sun pouring light through bedroom windows and across a charming porch as if the home itself welcomes the day along with you. As the sun arcs overhead, it follows the natural rhythm of the home, illuminating the dreamy front yard before settling into the backyard herb garden, where golden afternoon light fills the upstairs living spaces. Designed with intention, this home places all sleeping quarters on the cool, private lower level, & upstairs, the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together in an airy, light-filled retreat. A breakfast deck just off the kitchen is a favorite spot for morning coffee & the expansive back party deck captures the setting sun & overlooks the garden below. Indoor-outdoor living come together effortlessly. A private alley provides access to parking, an outbuilding, & beautiful carriage doors which open to what was once a traditional garage, now thoughtfully transformed. Everywhere the beach is present. The end of 13th leads to the stairs to Blacks Beach. Fine dining, weekend farmer's market, and other amenities are all in the neighborhood.
