    What's special

    Living in Santa Cruz allows us access to some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. All year long, visitors travel miles to enjoy their vacation time soaking in the warm California sun, riding the perfect wave, and the beach life lifestyle. But few of us can enjoy the sights and sounds of all that is considered “coastal living.” Until now! How would you like to wake up to the sounds of seabirds as they circle the skies? Or the sun as it rises over the ocean while you enjoy your morning coffee on the front deck of your new home? Or the orange glow of the sun as it descends along the horizon with a glass of wine in your hand with family and friends? 744 Escalona Drive provides all of this and more. Located in the upper Westside of Santa Cruz, this recently renovated, tri level home has four bedrooms, four bathrooms and provides spectacular ocean views from a variety of venues. From the fresh paint, inside and out, the glistening floors, the stainless steel appliances and granite counter-tops, to the warmth of new carpeting in the bedrooms and Roy Johnson lights throughout, this home is ready for the new proud owners. Every inch of this home has been touched as the owners prepared for sale. Outside, the new redwood decking provides breathtaking 180 degree views from Holy Cross Church to Natural Bridges State Beach. The huge living room features beautifully refinished hardwood floors, a stone fireplace and of course fabulous ocean views. The open floor plan kitchen and dining area of course have ocean views too. The granite countertops cover the freshly painted cabinets and provide a raised bar with stool seating for many. A wine refrigerator and sink create the perfect area for mixing drinks or pouring wine while enjoying your views. The kitchen has stainless steel new Thermador double ovens, a pull out new microwave, Sub Zero Refrigerator/Freezer, which surrounds the shining pine flooring. A dining area with seating for up to twenty completes the open area with views to beyond. There are three large bedrooms, two with en suites, and three newly renovated full bathrooms with views to the backyard area and deck. The master bedroom is up a short flight of stairs and again features that panoramic ocean view, a jetted soaker tub and an oversized separate shower with a glass ceiling to enjoy the view while showering. Double sinks, and beautiful granite counter tops is the icing on the cake! All of the bedrooms have closets galore, the master has two walk in closets and built in shelving. Downstairs there is a living room or family room, a bedroom or office and full bathroom which is accessible from its own private entrance as well as from the upstairs, or from the two car garage which has a work area as well. The downstairs rooms are the perfect place for your extended family or visiting friends. Your own private deck and sitting area is great for relaxing and watching the incredible ocean views. Probably on your “wish list” – ocean views, minutes to Downtown Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz Wharf for dining and fishing. Just minutes to West Cliff Drive for walking, skating, riding your bike, surfing or people watching. #1 Voted Beach and Boardwalk in the U.S. too! The location couldn’t be better. Perfect!
