Come fall in love with this classic turn-of-the-century urban Victorian farmhouse on a generous almost 8,000 sqft corner lot on the Westside of Santa Cruz. Filled with natural light, wavy glass, high ceilings, hardwood floors, wool carpets, and a timeless clawfoot tub, this home boasts traditional elements true to its era. While much of the original home remains, recent thoughtful upgrades include electrical, plumbing, and sewer lateral improvements. With roughly 1,500 sq ft of additional space in the basement with toilet, there are considerable opportunities to expand the property while maintaining the existing footprint. Dont miss the 240 sq. ft. detached garage studio, perfect for creative projects, a home office, or guest accommodation. The oversized corner lot has been professionally landscaped and includes: mature and productive fruit trees, redwood fencing, a veggie garden, lawn, and sitting areas. Located within a few blocks of amenities, also enjoy quick access to surf, the North Coast, Westcliff Dr., Downtown, UCSC, and Santa Cruz mountains.
