1266 7th Avenue Newly Renovated Townhouse-Style Apartment
7th Avenue Townhouse-Style Apartment Live the Santa Cruz Lifestyle
2 BD | 1.5 BA | Approx. 960 SF | 2 Stories | 2 Parking Spaces | Private Landscaped Yard
EVERYTHING BRAND NEW COMPLETELY RENOVATED
Beautifully renovated and move-in ready, this bright 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath townhouse-style apartment offers approximately 960 square feet of comfortable living space in a quiet, well-maintained 4-unit building.
This is not simply a freshened-up apartment the interior has been extensively renovated with new finishes, fixtures, appliances, flooring, window coverings, kitchen, and bathrooms. The result is a clean, modern home with lots of natural light and a fresh, updated feel throughout.
The Home
The spacious two-story layout provides the feel of a townhouse rather than a typical apartment. There is no unit above you, providing an added level of privacy and quiet.
The newly renovated kitchen features all-new cabinets, quartz countertops, and brand-new stainless-steel appliances, including a dishwasher. The bathrooms have also been completely remodeled with new fixtures, a new vanity with marble top, new lighting and hardware, and a beautifully tiled tub/shower enclosure with a new soaking tub.
The apartment has new carpet upstairs and new vinyl plank flooring downstairs, along with new window coverings throughout. The energy-efficient windows and southern exposure bring in abundant natural light.
A Rare Outdoor Bonus
One of the property's best features is the landscaped yard with exclusive use for 1266.
Having your own outdoor space is a major plus, especially in this area where many apartments have little or no yard. The yard is landscaped and available exclusively for your use. It is not fenced, but provides a wonderful private-use outdoor area for relaxing, enjoying your morning coffee, gardening, or simply having some space outside.
Great Eastside Santa Cruz Location
The location is ideal for enjoying the Santa Cruz lifestyle.
Twin Lakes Beach and the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor are approximately 1 mile away. Arana Gulch Open Space and its multi-use path are approximately 0.4 mile away, providing easy access to walking and biking. Jose Avenue County Park is also nearby, and the bus stop on Capitola Road is approximately a 12-minute walk.
You're also close to downtown Santa Cruz, restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, entertainment, parks, beaches, and recreation.
Whether you're heading to the beach, taking a walk through Arana Gulch, biking to the harbor, commuting to work, or enjoying dinner downtown, this location makes it easy to take advantage of everything Santa Cruz has to offer.
