Nestled into a tranquil granite hillside amidst mature oaks and redwoods, this lovely home offers privacy, practicality, and many green vistas. Soaking up the afternoon light from your expansive wrap-around deck, you might not believe that you are just minutes to downtown Scotts Valley, Santa Cruz, highway 17, or the finest Santa Cruz beaches. Inside the home, you will find an open, single-level floor plan that seamlessly merges space and light to bring the outside in. The house is refreshed with new luxury vinyl floors, plush bedroom carpeting, and new interior paint. This home offers the charm of the old with the river rock fireplace and clawfoot tub, the practicality of a separate mudroom and laundry room, and also the clean feel of a modern color palette. This property embodies the essence of the Santa Cruz mountains, inviting you to unlock your dreams and craft your future amidst its serene beauty.
