The first thing this residence brings to mind is true country living. The drive into the hilly area is covered with thick naturally grass and tall billowing trees. It's quiet and its peaceful. You won't find much in the surrounding area besides other tranquil neighbors and plenty of space but just a short drive down the 101 highway will bring you right into the city which of course hosts all the shops and entertainment areas one might need from time to time. What makes this home even more desirable is its right in the middle of the famous beach cities of Santa Cruz and Monterey!
