This Spacious Single Family Residence represents a Strong Value Opportunity, listed at $1,995,000—positioned above the $1,839,855 Fair Market Value. While priced at a premium, the property features Exceptional Coastal Views and a 3,406 sqft floor plan that justifies its Upper Westside location. With a Condition Rating of 4, the home offers significant recent upgrades like a newer roof and windows, though the dated kitchen provides a clear path for value-add modernization. This is an ideal acquisition for Owner-Occupants or Luxury Homebuyers seeking a coastal retreat.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1964, the home has received recent cosmetic 'refreshes' including new flooring, paint, windows, and a newer roof. However, the kitchen and primary bathroom remain dated with 20-30 year old tile countertops, older cabinetry, and vintage fixtures that require modernization to meet current market standards.
The property captures stunning panoramic vistas of Monterey Bay, the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, and the Wharf, significantly enhanced by multiple ocean-view decks and expansive windows throughout the living areas.
Extensive recent improvements, including a newer roof, new windows, fresh interior/exterior paint, and updated flooring, offer a move-in-ready experience and reduced immediate maintenance costs for the buyer.
At over 3,400 square feet, the home provides a rare scale for the Upper Westside, featuring a grand great room with high ceilings, a dedicated office/library, and a luxurious primary retreat.
Originally built in 1964, the home may still possess original underlying systems or architectural elements that require further modernization beyond the recent cosmetic and surface-level updates.
The large interior square footage occupies a significant portion of the 8,538 sqft lot, which may result in less flat, usable yard space for outdoor recreation compared to other properties in the neighborhood.
On Santa Cruz's coveted Upper Westside, this home captures stunning sunrise vistas over Monterey Bay, as well as mesmerizing nighttime views of the city, Santa Cruz Boardwalk, and Wharf. Featuring 4 bedrooms plus an office/library, the versatile floor plan offers multiple inviting spaces for both relaxation and entertaining including a living room, formal and informal dining areas, and a grand great room with high ceilings, a fireplace, wet bar, and expansive ocean-view windows opening to a spacious deck. The primary suite is a retreat with a fireplace, generous walk-in closet, built-in dresser, ample storage, and a large ensuite bath opening to a private ocean-view balcony. Enjoy outdoor living across multiple Oceanview decks and a private fenced backyard, perfect for gatherings. Conveniently located near UCSC, local schools, Westlake Park, scenic hiking and biking trails, downtown shops, fine restaurants, and the beach, this home balances tranquility with accessibility. Some of the recent updates include a newer roof, fresh interior and exterior paint, new flooring, updated lighting and hardware, new windows, and a newly reimagined front yard.
