This California bungalow offers the best of Santa Cruz living, blending beachside relaxation with modern style and thoughtful craftsmanship. Just a stroll from Twin Lakes Beach and the Harbor, you're perfectly situated for seaside sunsets, Wednesday night sailboat regattas, and an array of local favorites, from the Harbor Cafe, to the scenic Arana Gulch walking trails and even nearby pickleball courts. This meticulously maintained home boasts top-notch upgrades throughout, including a 50-year presidential roof, stunning high quality engineered hardwood floors, and a remodeled kitchen featuring a chefs dream: a Bluestar platinum stove with a charbroiler and reversible griddle grill, black granite kitchen sink and Mehle dishwasher. The dual pane windows bring in plenty of natural light, while the plantation shutters allow you to shut out the rest of the world and the newer recessed lighting throughout the home keep it bright and homey. Stay warm next to the living room fireplace with automatic room temperature sensors that will keep your home cozy throughout the year.  Step out back to find a spacious private yard with a fire pit and stone seating, ideal for entertaining or unwinding after a day at the beach - true Santa Cruz living at its best!
