About this home

Can you believe ocean views like this are even possible in Capitola with no erosion to worry about? That's just the start of what sets this craftsman beach house apart. Right in the heart of the village, you're close to everything that makes Capitola special, boutiques, legendary restaurants, local events, and the beach, all so near you'll wonder if you've ever lived anywhere so connected to the scene. Character is everywhere, from the fireplace built with stones pulled from Soquel Creek (how's that for local flavor?) to the warm custom wood floors and open beam ceilings overhead. Sun pours in onto south facing decks, turning the ocean into your daily backdrop. Life here is all about comfort. Solar panels and radiant heat, updated bathrooms with travertine, and low maintenance grounds mean less hassle and more time for the good stuff. Spacious parking, extra storage, and solid construction tick all the rare boxes, whether you're dreaming of a second home or a place that stands out all year. This is where charm meets convenience and every day feels a little more like the vacation everyone else wishes for.

Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1978, this property has undergone significant and high-quality renovations, particularly in the bathrooms and kitchen, which appear to be updated within the last 5-15 years. The bathrooms feature modern vanities, fixtures, and extensive travertine tiling, indicating a recent and thorough update. The kitchen boasts modern shaker-style cabinets, granite countertops, a contemporary backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, all in excellent condition. While the kitchen's terracotta flooring and the home's overall rustic wood aesthetic (wood floors, open beam ceilings, wood paneling) reflect its original character, they are well-maintained and contribute to its charm rather than indicating disrepair. Major system upgrades like solar panels and radiant heat further enhance its condition. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning well with the 'Good' score criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.
