Spread out, and let the fun begin! This roomy 4/3 sits back on a gated and private 26K+ sq ft flag lot parcel centrally located to Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley amenities, Pasatiempo Golf Course and Highway 17. Well-suited for entertaining both inside and out, w/ heated pool, hot tub, wraparound decking, covered brick patio w/ built-in grill and tiled counters, and 2-car and 3-car garage, plus plenty of parking for guests and toys. A true "entertainers kitchen" w/ over-sized island, rich cherry cabinetry, ample counter space, Viking gas range, pantry and wet bar. This home lives like a single-level w/ all the main living areas, a master suite, two bedrooms and a bath, laundry and work-out room, on the ground-floor. A second, very spacious master bedroom w/ office retreat, vaulted ceilings, and two private decks was added upstairs. Other thoughtful additions include Pella windows, oak in the entryway, mahogany, teak and tile flooring. Good schools, a good commute location, and so much more!
