This property, built in 1968, is in good, move-in ready condition with no immediate renovations required. The kitchen features newer stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and well-maintained wood cabinetry, offering good functionality and aesthetic appeal. Bathrooms have updated vanities and fixtures, though some tile work appears to be from an earlier renovation (likely 10-15 years ago) rather than brand new. Flooring is a mix of well-maintained hardwood and tile. The home benefits from fresh paint, recessed lighting, and excellent exterior landscaping, indicating consistent upkeep and thoughtful updates that make it very livable despite its age.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location: Nestled in the highly desirable Live Oak neighborhood, offering quick access to local parks, beaches, excellent schools, shopping, and restaurants, embodying the best of the California coastal lifestyle.
Exceptional Outdoor Living: Features beautifully landscaped front and back yards, including lush greenery, mature fruit trees, vibrant flowers, a peaceful koi pond, a pergola-covered deck, and multiple seating areas for year-round enjoyment and entertaining.
Inviting Single-Level Layout: A charming single-level home with a bright, inviting layout, hardwood and tile flooring, and abundant natural light, appealing to a wide range of buyers seeking ease of access and a warm atmosphere.
Well-Equipped Kitchen: The kitchen boasts ample counter space, newer appliances, and generous storage, providing a functional and updated space for cooking and daily living.
Charming & Cheerful Ambiance: The property exudes a warm and cheerful atmosphere throughout, with its thoughtful design and inviting spaces, making it feel like a daily getaway.

Cons

Pricing Discrepancy: The current listing price is 13% above the property's estimated value, which may present a challenge in attracting offers at the asking price and could lead to longer market time.
Age of Construction: Built in 1968, the home is over 50 years old. While charming, this age often implies potential for outdated major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) that may require significant future investment, despite cosmetic updates.
Modest Square Footage: With 1355 sqft, the interior living space, while efficiently laid out, might be considered modest for some buyers in this desirable Santa Cruz market, potentially limiting its appeal to those seeking larger homes.
