Quintessential 1920s California Bungalow with Spanish Colonial Revival Charm. Character & craftsmanship come together in this beloved 3-bedroom, 1.25-bath bungalow, ideally located in one of the Westside's most desirable areas. Full of period detail & warmth, this home is a canvas for a buyer ready to restore its classic charm. Freshly painted inside & out, the home welcomes you onto an inviting front porch flanked by decorative urns, and through the front door into a light-filled living room anchored by original built-in cabinetry. French doors open the floor plan for easy, great-room-style flow, while the kitchen offers a bright, cheerful space to cook & gather. A second charming entry, the side porch, welcomes guests through a period French door framed by sidelight windows. Outside, the property truly sets itself apart: an expansive front yard and spacious backyard are joined by a year-round spillway that runs the full length of the lot, creating a peaceful backdrop. A detached garage with a bonus studio adds flexibility for an art studio or office & there's plenty of off-street parking. Previously used as student housing, this home is ready for a new chapter. Just moments from iconic Santa Cruz beaches, UCSC, Downtown Santa Cruz & Costco this is Westside living at its finest.
