Enjoy a fully furnished (or potentially unfurnished at your request) one of a kind mid-century home with both suburban and rural feel (suburban from the front, rural from the back). On a quiet cul-de-sac walkable to DeLaveaga Elementary School and Harbor High School. Friendly neighborhood with children and adults of all ages. Ideal for traveling nurses, relocating professional, remote workers, families. Can be short term (one month), midterm or longterm.
The home features:
3 large bedrooms which are carpeted. Primary has a vaulted redwood heart ceiling and large closet. The other two bedrooms are also large with moderately-sized closets. The bathroom has a tub and separate walk-in shower. The half-bath has a toilet and sink and is attached to the laundry room and family room.
The living room and dining room are one large room in front of home with redwood vaulted ceilings and a view of the neighborhood and peeks of Monterey Bay (lots of trees).
Fully appointed kitchen and a built in dining table for breakfasts, playing games or any table top activity. Large walk in pantry (state of the art for the 1960's!) Family room continguous with kitchen and has a TV with internet - no cable currently. 2 large hall closets ideal for coats, etc and one currently filled with games and puzzles.
Outdoor space: The house is on a hill in the neighborhood on a third of an acre with a fenced-in patio adjacent to the family room, small gas grill - lots of native oaks and the occasional deer. Outdoor tables and chairs under a very large vaulted roof for a lanai feeling. Neighborhood out the front door, park out the back door.
Location Mid-town: Very close to freeway entrance for easy access to any part of town and highway 17. Approximately 15 minutes from UC Santa Cruz, 5-10 minutes from downtown, 2 miles from Seabright Beach, a mile from Midtown (Rio Theater).
