Tucked away in the towering redwoods of Boulder Creek and conveniently located near Silicon Valley and Santa Cruz, this gorgeously updated 3 bed/ 2 bath 1987 abode awaits with 1,170 sq ft and over 1 acre of serene and private forest paradise. Streaming light pours through large windows, accenting the vaulted ceilings with peaceful nature views. Bask in the sun off the front deck or relax in the shade of the covered porch, a trail around the house provides access to plenty of level backyard space for outdoor enjoyment and opportunity to expand. The first floor includes 1 bedroom and full bath, connected by hallway to the open floor plan with spacious living/dining/kitchen area where the spiral staircase ascends to the upper floor with 2 more bedrooms and a second updated bath. Large garage sized storage area and driveway space to park 3 cars. High speed internet access allows you to stay connected while you’re away from it all. Minutes from Hwy 9, downtown BC and miles of trails.
