Welcome to your peaceful retreat. What are you waiting for? This is the home you want to buy! Well-maintained over many years, this inviting single-level home sits on a flat useable 1/2 acre lot with a perfect mix of sun and shade, surrounded by established landscaping and vibrant gardens. The exterior has been freshly re-painted, fully fenced and Trex decks make outdoor living easy. Inside, the kitchen features quartzite countertops, ample storage, and a cozy breakfast nook. The primary suite includes an updated bath with quartz counters and a private porch ideal for your morning coffee or evening wine-down. High ceilings and a cozy wood stove in the living room add warmth and charm, while generously sized bedrooms offer space and flexibility. Modern upgrades include a new leach field in 2024, a hardwired generator hookup, EV charger, and a resurfaced driveway with plenty of parking. Enjoy the shaded front porch or unwind on the back deck affectionately known as the Hummingbird International Airport. With comfort, style, and soul, only 13 minutes to groceries and 2 miles to UCSC.
