Welcome to your peaceful retreat. What are you waiting for? This is the home you want to buy!

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.
