Finding a single-family home between Santa Cruz and Carmel with a private yard at this price point is increasingly rare. This one brings all of it together. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers the ease of single-level living with an updated kitchen, refreshed bathrooms, fireplace, and a comfortable layout that is ready to enjoy. Plenty of parking and a roomy 2 car garage is a plus. Outside, the private yard provides space to garden, relax, entertain, or pick your own fresh oranges! Staff of Life, Fruition Brewing, Sushi Qu, Silver Spur, local exercise trails, and seasonal U-pick destinations such as Gizdich Ranch and Birdsong Orchards are all nearby, giving everyday life plenty of local flavor. Ownership is not age-restricted, but community occupancy rules require at least one resident to be 55 or older, with additional residents at least 45. Whether you are looking to downsize, simplify, or explore an investment opportunity, this home offers exceptional value in a central Monterey Bay location.
