Private turnkey end-unit townhome in the heart of downtown Santa Cruz, one of only 10 homes tucked into a quaint corner of the neighborhood. Built in 1990 by Devcon Construction, this 2 bed, 2.5 bath, 1,472 SF home offers a smart three-level layout. The ground floor features an oversized tandem 2-car garage with built-in cabinets, overhead storage, a laundry area, an EV charger, and a water filtration system. The main level flows from a living room with a fireplace to a bright white kitchen with a walk-in pantry, a dining area, and a half bath. Wide sliding glass doors open to a sunny deck with city views. Upstairs, two generous primary suites each have their own full bath, and both are filled with natural light from multiple windows that bring in sun and treetop views all day. Victorian-lined streets lead to Pacific Avenue's cafes, restaurants, craft breweries and boutiques, the Museum of Art & History, live music and the downtown farmers market. The Wharf, Boardwalk, West Cliff Drive and UCSC are all about 1.5 miles away. Easy, low-maintenance living close to everything that makes Santa Cruz special.

Mission Hill, located between Downtown Santa Cruz and the Westside, is a hillside and historic Santa Cruz neighborhood with Victorian-era cottages and redwood-shaded streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Mission Street near Bay Street, where coffee counters, small eateries, and campus foot traffic set a steady daytime rhythm. Landmark homes and older apartment buildings step up the slope toward UC Santa Cruz, with ocean air and treetop views appearing between blocks. The Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park adds a quiet, museum-like pause amid the residential grid. A short walk leads to the Del Mar Theatre and the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History for film and gallery nights. Bookshop browsing at Bookshop Santa Cruz and live sets at The Catalyst keep nearby evenings active.
