About This Home

Properties like this rarely come to market. Built and completely reimagined in 2018, this home sits on a lot held by the same family since 1910 offering a truly special blend of history, craftsmanship, and modern luxury. From the moment you step inside, you are welcomed by sweeping views of the harbor, beach, lighthouse, and the iconic Santa Cruz Boardwalk in the distance. Expansive NanaWalls open the main living space to a wraparound stamped concrete patio, complete with both gas and wood-burning fire pitscreating effortless indoor-outdoor living thats perfect for entertaining year-round. The kitchen features a generous island and sleek finishes beautifully contrasted by rich Brazilian teak floors. A flexible Murphy bedroom just off the living room offers the ideal space for guests, a cozy lounge, or a private home office. Upstairs, accessible by stairs or an elevator that covers all levels, you will find dual primary suites and a stunning deck with panoramic ocean views your own private retreat above it all. A touch of the unexpected, hidden rooms are tucked behind custom bookcases throughout the home. Discover a secret staircase leading to the finished basement complete with a large recreation space, full bath, and second laundry or uncover your own lookout tower.
