Prominently situated on a corner lot in Santa Cruz's Upper Westside sits 1176 Western Dr., a 2,500+ square foot 3-4 BR, 2BA home on nearly 13,000 feet of land. An ideal home for investors or owner-users, the flexible floor plan allows for multiple sleeping rooms or home offices, with great separation of space, usable outdoor areas, and an enviable location in close proximity to UCSC, award-winning Westlake Elementary School, mountain biking/hiking trails, and much more. Flexibility to convert the garage to an ADU, add a detached unit (or two!) to the front yard, execute an SB9 lot split, or simply live in the home and take advantage of all the Westside has to offer. With mature trees including an enormous and prolific avocado tree, productive apple and lemon trees, and a soaring pine, this chalet-style home was a wonderful place for the current owners to raise a family, entertain, and enjoy the Santa Cruz lifestyle... now its your turn! With 3 proper bedrooms and a flex space that could be a 4th BR or a home office/den/playroom/gym, plus several nooks and bonus spaces perfect for studies, zoom rooms, or extra storage, this is an incredible Upper Westside value.
