Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Coastal Location: Situated in the coveted Seabright neighborhood, the home is just moments from the sand, surf, and harbor, offering an unparalleled Santa Cruz coastal lifestyle.
Historic Charm with Modern Updates: The property beautifully blends classic 1920s vintage charm, including hardwood floors and leaded glass, with tastefully modernized kitchen and baths, appealing to a broad range of buyers.
Versatile Bonus Space/ADU Potential: A detached garage with a bonus room above provides flexible space for an art studio, office, or future Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), adding significant value and utility.
Architectural Character: As a classic 1920s beach home, it exudes warmth, inviting character, and captures the essence of Santa Cruz living, standing out from more generic properties.
Functional and Inviting Interiors: The home features a seamless flow from a spacious living room with a cozy fireplace to the dining area and a sunny breakfast nook, creating comfortable and appealing living spaces.
Cons
Potential for Age-Related Maintenance: Built in 1928, despite updates, the property may still have underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that could require future maintenance or upgrades typical of older homes.
Modest Lot Size: With a lot size of 4922 sqft, the outdoor space is relatively modest, which might be a consideration for buyers seeking larger yards or more extensive landscaping opportunities.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: As is common with homes of this era, the description does not mention central air conditioning, which could be a drawback for some buyers during warmer periods.
