Arrive at your peaceful redwood retreat, a cozy cottage nestled among towering trees just minutes from Downtown Scotts Valley. Step onto the generous wraparound deck built from local redwood and feel life slow down as you sip morning coffee or unwind while the forest glows around you. The large driveway offers plenty of room for oversized vehicles, and the one car garage with workshop space gives you a place to tinker, create, or store gear. An attached studio adds an ideal spot for guests or a quiet workspace. Behind the home sits a charming garden cabin with a loft and electrical hookups, perfect for an artist studio or second workspace tucked away from the main cottage. The landscaping adds extra magic with mature maples, camellias, dogwood, and lush seasonal blooms that color the property year round. Inside, the home welcomes you with fresh paint, new counter tops, and thoughtful updates that keep its warm vintage charm. The spacious bedroom looks out onto a private patio surrounded by ferns and redwoods, creating a peaceful start or end to your day. With Highway 9 and 17 nearby, commuting is easy while the property still feels like a quiet forest escape. Only 15 minutes to Santa Cruz and 30 to Los Gatos. This is a place to slow down and feel at home.
