211 Plateau Ave, Santa Cruz, CA 95060

All showings for this property have been paused until current applicants have completed their tours. Expected next openings will be Sept. 4-5 This charming old home is just 3 blocks from the beach in the most desirable area in Santa Cruz. It is 1 bedroom, 1 bath with an attached garage that can only be used for storage due to the dirt floor and sump pump. There is a large, fenced back yard. In March 2025, we installed a new roof, new luxury vinyl plank flooring (kitchen & living room), interior paint, kitchen counter & cabinets, electric range, new windows, counters and microwave. There is a bonus room with a loft, attached to the back of the garage for a maker space or extra storage. There is a deck in the back yard. The home is quite small (664 sq. ft.), so it is best suited to 1 or 2 occupants. A small, well-behaved dog may be permitted, but no cats please! This Plateau Ave. property is close to Mission St. (about 7 blocks), where you will find all the shopping and transit options you need. Please contact me (property owner) to schedule a showing. I live in Colorado, so I am available by phone, text or email. Lease term is 1 year. Tenants are responsible for all utilities. No smoking will be permitted inside the home. The garage has a dirt floor and a sump pump, so 1 parking space is on the driveway in front of the garage and there is ample parking on the street in front of the house. Tenants are responsible for keeping the yards clean and shrubs trimmed & watered. This home was built in 1911, so it has its drawbacks - such as the size (664 sq ft), no closet in the bedroom (it is outside the bedroom), no stand-alone shower (shower is in the claw-foot tub), and no central heat or air conditioning. The heater is on the wall in the living room and works well to heat the home and there are ceiling fans for cooling.
