Stunning ocean-view Thatcher and Thompson home on the upper west side! This home is located on a quiet street of newer, thoughtfully tended homes, just a few minutes from the west entrance of UCSC. Situated directly across the street from the tranquil neighborhood park and beautiful Moore Creek Preserve, the home boasts a truly enviable spot in the neighborhood. The setting and design afford dramatic ocean and canyon views from two bedrooms, the living room, dining room, and upper and lower front decks. Although the home is only twenty years new, it's already been updated to suit today's most discerning buyers. You'll be blown away by the new kitchen with its custom bamboo-faced cabinets, farmhouse sink, Caesarstone counters and distinctive Fireclay tile work. The upstairs bathrooms have been enhanced with new cabinets and vanities, towel warmers, Toto toilets with Washlets and radiant heated floors. To further heighten the home's embrace of the natural environment, owned solar panels have been installed on the roof, providing clean, affordable energy. A private rear Zen sitting garden screened by bamboo offers a sense of serenity. The two-car attached garage has a Bosch Level II electric car charger and alley access for easy and secure parking and storage. You'll love the high ceilings, hardwood floors and built-in wooden shelving and drawers. The staircase connecting the two levels works as a light well, bringing warmth and sunshine into the rear portions of the home. The landscaping has been thoughtfully updated with California native and drought-tolerant plants, and two rain barrels collect winter storm water for summer irrigation. The upper front balcony is accessible off the master suite and provides a perfect retreat in which to relax, enjoy some morning coffee, and watch the red-tailed hawks circle over the canyon. Few homes in Santa Cruz match the location, views, quality and style this home has to offer. You'll be thrilled to live here and delighted to share it with friends and family for years to come.
