This charming rural cottage in the Santa Cruz mountains has been newly remodeled with many upgrades. New paint inside and out, new LVT flooring, new kitchen appliances, new lighting, new mini split heat pump with AC, updated bathroom, and new insulation under the subfloor. The kitchen has granite countertops, hickory cabinetry, and opens to a large back deck where the laundry is located. The house features high ceilings of varnished wood which gives the home a rustic yet contemporary feel. The two bedrooms feel quite spacious with the open ceilings. The level lot is spacious with ample sun for the area and here you have the room to make it truly unique by adding your finishing touches. The redwoods are away from the house so minimal danger from falling branches. There is ample parking off road for at least 3 vehicles. Enjoy the serene beauty of the Santa Cruz Mountains at an affordable price and the peace of mind of having a flat lot at the top of the hill, so during those wet winters you don't have to worry about runoff. Here you are only 5 min to Loch Lomond, 7 min to the Grocery store, 20 min to the beach, short trip to San Jose with 2 routes to choose from (Upper Zayante; scenic back way--or--17)
