Welcome to 2520 and 2530 Capitola Road! Both of these units offer 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, single car garages, laundry hookups, and private sun-drenched back yards. The sizable yards provide ample space for pets, outdoor activities and potential landscaping opportunities to customize to your wants and needs. Backyards are big enough for an ADU for more income possibilities. A brand-new roof was installed in Sept 2025, along with premium laminate flooring in the bedrooms of the vacant unit. Separate electric meters, and nicely-sized bedrooms make this property suitable as an investment opportunity or the ability to live on one side and rent the other. This duplex is in a premium location - minutes to beaches, surf, restaurants, shopping, parks, Simpkins Swim Center, and more. Buyer to verify school district boundary lines.
