Built in 1922, this century-old home is functional but dated. While the listing mentions updated plumbing and bathrooms, the kitchen is highly unconventional, utilizing a rolling tool chest and mismatched storage rather than standard built-in cabinetry. The interior features aged beadboard and basic finishes that require significant cosmetic and functional modernization.
Situated just three blocks from the beach and Capitola Village, this property offers exceptional walkability to iconic local landmarks like Gayle's Bakery and the Esplanade.
With mixed-use zoning and a layout previously configured as two units, the home provides unique opportunities for rental income, shared living, or a home-based business.
The property includes off-street parking for two vehicles, a highly coveted and rare feature in the densely populated heart of Capitola where parking is at a premium.

The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 828, living area = 880.
At only 880 square feet on a minimal 828 square foot lot, the living space and outdoor area are significantly constrained for a three-bedroom residence.

This is a 3 bedroom (records reflect 2 bedrooms), 2 bath home with off-street parking- hard to come by! 1 bedroom downstairs and 2 bedrooms upstairs- the smaller of the 2 would be perfect for a nursery or a home office! This charming 104 year old home is zoned mixed use, nicely updated bathrooms, updated plumbing.

Put your personal touches on this one and enjoy living in one of the greatest locations in California!
