Welcome to one of the most charming little Capitola homes! You have likely driven or walked by it on your way to Shadowbrook or the Capitola Beach & Village. The inside is as adorable as the curb appeal of this sweet single level home w/ marble counters in kitchen open to the living room w/ insert fireplace. And, it is better with age with newly refinished Hardwood floors, Newer roof & gutters. The outdoor space is as desirable with a new $10k outdoor kitchen, hot tub on the deck and yes, insert fireplace outside to enjoy your Capitola BBQ's and/or night cap! Detached laundry & utility room w/ outdoor shower don't take away from the SF of the home. Once originally the garage, has been nicely converted to an office/kids play room/surf shack. This is truly one of my favorite homes; The location is exceptional where you can truly enjoy all that Capitola has to offer but not be right in the middle of the busy village & is just an easy bike ride to the fun at 41st and Pleasure Point too!

MU-N
Mixed Use, Neighborhood District
The purpose of the MU-N zoning district is to allow for neighborhood-serving mixed use areas that enhance residents’ quality of life. The MU-N zoning district contains an eclectic mix of retail, restaurants, and services for residents and visitors. A range of housing types close to nonresidential uses increases housing choices and supports a walkable community. Development in the MU-N zoning district will be carefully designed to complement its surroundings and minimize impacts on neighboring properties. Land uses will strengthen connections between destinations in Capitola, including the Village, Bay Avenue, and 41st Avenue.
