Property Description

First time on the market! One of a kind in the desirable Happy Valley District nestled along the hillside with 5.35 acres allowing you to roam around. Home has been mostly updated and ready for a new owner. Gaze out the amazing wall of windows in living room out through the Trees. The fireplace is unique utilizing a wood burning insert(family room) and open fireplace on living room side providing fire views and warmth throughout the home. At 2006 sf, this single level home has 3 large bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, a large laundry room off the kitchen and a formal dining room for those more intimate dinners or gatherings for the holidays. New flooring, carpet, paint and finishing touches have been added to the very functional layout. Enjoy the comfort and convenience of a Generac Whole house generator. The oversized garage provides ample space for vehicles, storage, or workshop space and if that is not sufficient there are 3 additional outbuildings on property. Surrounded by mature trees and natural landscaping the setting offers a true sense of seclusion. The upper part of the property presents the potential for an additional building site with sweeping views and a rare opportunity to create a private retreat, entertaining space, or scenic overlook. Happy Valley is known for it's great schools and as a peaceful, tucked-away residential area with properties that are more spread out, creating a semi-rural lifestyle while still offering quick access to Santa Cruz, Soquel and Scotts Valley. The area is favored for its quiet setting and strong sense of community. Located just minutes from downtown Santa Cruz, and Highway 17, this property is ideally positioned for commuters heading to the Bay Area or those seeking a serene retreat close to the coast.
