Situated in a central Santa Cruz County location, this home offers an appealing blend of convenience and tranquility.

The functional floor plan features a spacious living room with fireplace, an adjoining dining area, and a kitchen with abundant cabinetry, generous workspace, new stainless appliances and sliding glass doors opening to a covered deck and large fenced backyard. Upstairs, the primary bedroom with a full en suite bath is joined by two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath. Fresh interior paint, along with laminate flooring throughout, provide a clean, move-in-ready feel. While many finishes remain original, the home presents an outstanding opportunity to update and personalize over time. Located within the sought-after Santa Cruz Gardens Elementary School district and enjoying the area's mild coastal climate, this property offers exceptional potential in a convenient location.
