Santa Cruz, California 95065
Tucked into a quiet stretch of country just minutes from town, 365 Granite Creek Road is a light-filled Contemporary that's move-in ready and impossible to replicate. The 5-bedroom, 3-bath main house centers on a chef's kitchen that's undergone a high-end, top-to-bottom remodel, and a detached studio with its own half bath adds flexible bonus space for guests, a home office, or a workout room. You get the best of both worlds here - a genuinely rural, tucked-away feel mere minutes from downtown, DeLaveaga Park, Soquel Drive, and main commuter routes. Properties like this don't come along often: plenty of room for everyone to spread out, enough acreage to actually feel private, and just enough homestead character to make real self-sufficiency practical. A fenced garden and a roomy chicken coop, more than two dozen fruit trees, and a solar system that powers the whole property all come together to make this a rare, well-rounded find. The main level offers a full bedroom and bath, an oversized living room, and direct access to the attached two-car garage, while the four bedrooms upstairs open enjoy shared living space that flow easily out to the backyard, that effortless indoor-outdoor connection that defines California living. Come experience it for yourself!
Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although originally built in 1961, the property has undergone a comprehensive, high-end top-to-bottom remodel within the last 5 years. The chef's kitchen and bathrooms feature completely modernized, mint-condition finishes, contemporary tiling, and premium fixtures. The home is fully move-in ready with an updated solar power system and requires no immediate maintenance.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 115565, living area = 3610.
The property features a top-to-bottom remodeled chef's kitchen and a light-filled contemporary design, offering a move-in-ready experience with high-end finishes.
Situated on over 2.6 private acres, the estate includes a full solar system, a fenced garden, and over two dozen fruit trees, catering perfectly to those seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle.
The expansive lot, featuring a chicken coop and extensive orchards, demands significant ongoing labor and costs to maintain the grounds and agricultural elements.
Despite the interior updates, the 1961 build date suggests that original structural components or utility systems outside the remodeled areas may eventually require modernization.
