Work and live in one place. These units are perfect for a small business and Santa Cruz lifestyle. Use the ground floor for business, use the top two for living. Be close to bike path, coffee shops, breweries and distilleries, while you work/play. Condo building has entrances for business that can be separate for the residential level if you so desire. Current owner has this place "turn key" and will leave living room furniture. Great value and great opportunity.
