About this home

Built in 1898, this soulful 4BR/2BA, 2,300 sq ft Victorian occupies a private corner lot along one of Downtown Santa Cruzs most storied residential streets. Its steep gabled shingle design, shed dormers and crafted period porch reflect the architecture that shaped the neighborhood more than a century ago. Inside, original wood floors, sideboards, stairway and bannister, built-ins, pocket doors, moulding and window trim have been thoughtfully preserved, while modern updates blend seamlessly with the homes vintage character. Rich wood tones, high ceilings and abundant natural light create warmth throughout. The main level offers a flexible bedroom with built-in bookshelves, a full bath, formal dining room and casual dining nook framed by a rounded bay of windows. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including one with a built-in desk, a full bath with claw-foot tub and a peaceful hallway sitting nook overlooking the garden. Mature hedges provide privacy, while established landscaping, garden beds and warm flagstone paths connect an expansive dining patio and fenced meditation garden. Timeless and deeply connected to the story of Santa Cruz, this special home remains remarkably walkable to Downtown restaurants, shops, entertainment and conveniences.
