Welcome Home! This extensively remodeled, single-story home is simply a masterpiece, with stunning ocean and forest views. Enjoy complete privacy on the 2.5-acre parcel located in the award-winning Scotts Valley School District. A clean, contemporary aesthetic unifies the entire home, top to bottom. Pure-white level 5 drywall finish. Scavolini Italian cabinetry. Engineered hardwood, carrying through the ample greatroom, with automatic skylights above. Step through the 16-foot Marvin Integrity sliders onto trex deck to admire the panoramic views, amid stately Monterey cypress trees. White-on-white La Habra stucco complements the presidential rooftop in carbon black. Exceptional quality at every turn. Feel like you're a world away, while only a moment's drive to Costco, to tech buses at Cavallaro, to downtown Santa Cruz, Highway 17 via Sims, and of course the beach.
