Why they chose this property
One of the very rare, spacious lots on the street, it has two magnificent trees, a large wraparound deck, spacious backyard with tropical plants and a uniquely-styled house with cathedral ceilings. It was originally built in the 70's with recycled wood from an Iowa barn, giving the house beautiful definition and an impressive beam structure. Finally, it is located in the most desirable part of Santa Cruz, just steps from Twin Lakes beach / Blacks beach and a short walk to the Harbor.
Unlike many beach dwellings (that feel cramped), this large lot offers plenty of room for a spacious home (1400sqft), a large wraparound deck (600sqft) and a sizeable garden providing one of the best indoor-outdoor living in Santa Cruz.
In addition, the unique cathedral ceilings, open-concept living area and large windows fill the house with light, providing a spacious and warm welcoming feeling. It is so close to the ocean that you can see it from the doorstep.
