Rarely does a 4-bedroom home on an 8,500+ sq ft lot become available in Capitola's desirable Cliffwood Heights neighborhood. Vaulted ceilings and large windows fill the living room with natural light, while the separate family room with fireplace offers a nice separation of space. Recent updates include fresh interior and exterior paint and newly refinished hardwood floors. Outside, the spacious backyard is shaded by mature trees and provides ample room for entertaining, gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. With a two-car garage and an oversized lot, this home offers a rare combination of space and location just minutes from Capitola Village, beaches, shopping, dining, and schools.
