About this home

Amazing investment opportunity! Beautiful victorian style triplex with a bonus detached back house that has been updated with a fresh coat of paint and newer flooring. The triplex includes a 2 bed/1.5 bath and two 1 bed/1bath units. The main house features gorgeous tall ceilings that give the space a feeling of airiness. Centrally located with easy access to highway 17 and highway 1 for those that commute, the delicious restaurants of downtown Santa Cruz, and most importantly, the world-famous beaches that Santa Cruz is known for. Live in one unit and rent out the other three to offset your mortgage! Great location, great opportunity!
