This spectacular historic mission revival stucco home captures the essence of Santa Cruz living with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. A colorful array of drought-tolerant blooms, mature redwoods, and a xeriscaped front yard create a welcoming first impression. Inside, the home blends timeless charm with thoughtful upgrades, featuring original oak hardwood flooring, coved ceilings, a decorative tiled entry, beautifully trimmed archways, and custom built-in hutches. Expansive windows in the living and dining rooms fill the home with natural light, while the oversized brick fireplace with a wraparound mantle serves as a cozy focal point. Craft details such as the divided-lite doors, ornate glass knobs, and wood trim bring out the character of the living and dining rooms. A galley kitchen with crisp white cabinetry and spacious farmhouse sink complements the home's architectural details, while upgraded appliances make for easy living, including a new craftsman double oven range, lending itself to easy entertaining while nodding to the home's historic appeal. In the primary suite, a large bathroom is enhanced by French doors that flood the space with morning sunshine and connect seamlessly to the backyard. Two additional bedrooms in the main house provide comfort and flexibility. Outdoors, a private courtyard invites relaxation with Spanish-tiled walkways, a privacy wall, low-maintenance turf lawn, garden areas, and an outdoor fireplace.
