This gorgeously updated home is walking distance to 5 beaches, 2 lagoons, an urban hiking trail, delicious restaurants, & the Live Oak Farmers Market. On top of the stellar location, expect a seamless blend of modern with old-world warmth; industrial accents are balanced with strikingly textured wooden beams. In the kitchen, quartz counters, custom cabinetry, a built-in wine fridge, & a VIKING stove complete with pot filler, make you believe you could cook like Julia Child - in this kitchen, maybe you could. This home was built for gathering. Every room spills into the massive backyard, which features a large deck, lush foliage, custom lighting, & a flagstone walkway that weaves through it all. Two accessory buildings in the backyard are fully finished with hardwood floors & electricity - unparalleled space for your office, art studio, or workout room. Welcome to the perfect Santa Cruz location, backyard, & home: you're lucky to get one - it's unheard of to find all three.
