Beautiful Beach Hill condo in a wonderful 7-unit building, ideally located just steps from the beach and some of Santa Cruzs most iconic destinations. Spanning 1,043 sqft across two levels, this exceptionally spacious one-bedroom lives more like a home than a traditional condo. Newly refinished hardwood floors & fresh interior paint create a bright, refreshed feel throughout. The inviting main level offers a comfortable living room with vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and an easy flow into the dining area & kitchen. Tasteful teak & glass cabinetry, built-in wine rack, and stainless steel appliances add warmth and character, while a convenient half bath completes the main living space. Step outside to a private patio, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs, the expansive primary bedroom features a full bathroom and its own private terrace, creating a peaceful retreat. Rooftop access provides additional outdoor space with views of the surrounding Santa Cruz hills. Located in the highly desirable neighborhood, just a block from the coast and walking distance to Cowell Beach, West Cliff Drive, the Santa Cruz Wharf, Boardwalk, downtown shops & dining, and the new La Bahia Hotel & Spa. An amazing opportunity to enjoy the quintessential Santa Cruz beach lifestyle!
