Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Income & Multi-Generational Potential: The property features a main home, a separate ADU, and a detached studio, offering significant flexibility for rental income, guest accommodation, or multi-generational living arrangements.
Prime Coastal Santa Cruz Location: Situated just blocks from the beach and minutes from shops and restaurants, this property boasts an unbeatable walkability score and desirable coastal lifestyle.
Significant Price Reduction & Value Proposition: A substantial price drop from $1.699M to $998K, with the current list price below the estimated market value, presents a compelling investment opportunity for buyers.
Recently Updated Interiors: The main home includes a stylishly remodeled kitchen, updated flooring, and fresh paint, while the ADU features a modern open layout, indicating move-in readiness and reduced immediate renovation costs.
Versatile Outdoor Living Spaces: Private outdoor patio and garden areas provide valuable recreational and relaxation spaces, enhancing the overall appeal and coastal living experience.

Cons

Compact Lot Size & High Density: The 4,312 sq ft lot is relatively small for three separate structures, potentially leading to limited private outdoor areas per unit and a sense of density.
Age of Original Construction: Built in 1931, the property is an older build. While updated, potential buyers may have concerns about the underlying infrastructure, ongoing maintenance, or the need for future capital expenditures typical of historic homes.
Limited Individual Unit Sizes: Despite having multiple units, the individual living spaces (750 sq ft for main, 540 sq ft for ADU) are quite compact, which might not suit buyers seeking larger primary residences or more spacious rental units.
