Gorgeous property just past Anna Jean Cummings County Park (affectionately known to locals as Blue Ball Park). Set well off the road, the nearly one-half acre level flag lot is one of the largest in the neighborhood. It feels like going back to a quieter time when the world did not move so quickly. The expansive yard offers a rare sense of privacy and open space that is hard to find today. A side-yard gate provides direct access to Cindy Lane and the Hilltop neighborhood.
The home shows the passing of time but carries warm character and history while remaining entirely move-in ready. Whether you choose to enjoy its classic comfort exactly as it is or bring your own future updates to life, this unique property is a rare find.
For many years, this single-family residence was used as a non-conforming duplex (see the Assessor's Characteristics). Its large size and versatile floor plan could naturally lend themselves to multi-generational living or the potential for a built-in ADU (which could be further explored directly with the Santa Cruz County Planning Dept.). Many infrastructure upgrades have been made, including new underground electrical service, a main electrical panel, and a sewer lateral connection.
Come take a look and bring your imagination. You will love the visit.
