Tucked down a long, private drive and hidden from the road, this sun-drenched single-level home feels like a world of its own, just minutes from Santa Cruz. Set on nearly 1 acre, it blends privacy, comfort, and indoor-outdoor living. Recently refreshed with new flooring, updated lighting, and premium appliances, the home is move-in ready, with a kitchen featuring a new Samsung refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and built-in Miele coffee system for barista-quality mornings. The grounds are a gardener's dream, landscaped with drought-tolerant lavender, sage, citrus trees, and hedging for added privacy. There's room to entertain, garden, or simply relax. Creative spirits and remote professionals will love the detached finished shed, ideal as an art studio, office, or yoga space, plus an additional workshop for hobbies and storage. Modern conveniences include solar power, air conditioning, and abundant parking. Nearby, enjoy the Trout Farm Inn and pool, trails at Quail Hollow Ranch, and easy access to Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley. A rare offering where privacy, sunshine, usable land, and modern amenities come together.
