Built in 2024, this top-floor corner 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo at The Encore offers privacy: no neighbors above or beside you on either side. The home combines modern architecture style, newer construction, single-level living, owned solar, high-efficiency appliances, EV-ready covered parking and secure elevator access in the heart of Scotts Valley. High ceilings and abundant natural light complement an open kitchen with quartz counters, Shaker cabinetry, stainless appliances and an extended island. The primary suite features a custom walk-in closet and frameless glass shower, while heated tile floors in both baths add everyday comfort. The list price reflects a home decades newer than much of the nearby condo competition, while the $480 monthly HOA dues are notably lower than many older Scotts Valley condo alternatives, an important part of the monthly-cost conversation. No garage? Two assigned parking spaces, including one covered EV-ready space, plus oversized secured ground-floor storage offer practical space for bikes, boards, luggage and more. Add in-unit laundry, a private balcony and lock-and-leave convenience, with Highway 17, Santa Cruz beaches, redwoods and golf nearby.
