Welcome to the Santa Cruz Mountains! Nestled in nature, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is a true gem, blending comfort, privacy, and modern amenities. Inside, high ceilings, recessed lighting, and skylights create an airy, light-filled space, perfectly complemented by durable luxury vinyl plank flooring and dual-pane windows that enhance energy efficiency and style. The recently remodeled kitchen (2019) features under-cabinet lighting, sleek quartz countertops, and a custom butcher-block island, creating a modern space thats functional and beautiful. Convenient to the kitchen, a large laundry and storage room has an extra sink and ample cabinets for all your storage needs. The 200AMP electrical panel upgrade (2018) ensures the home is future-ready, while a generator transfer switch provides peace of mind in all seasons. The outdoor spaces are equally impressive, with updated landscaping (2020) on the large, flat, sunny yard as well as a redwood grove! Additional highlights include a new fence with a discreet garbage enclosure, gutter guards, a storage shed, as well as off-street parking for three cars, set back from the road to provide an added buffer of privacy. This home combines the best of mountain living with modern conveniences. Welcome home!
