Located on a 2.4 acre mostly level lot, with a stream on the property, this charming 3/2 with a separate guesthouse is located a few miles from Soquel. The house needs work and updating, it's an REO, however a perfect opportunity for someone seeking a property with land within commuting distance of San Jose and Santa Cruz. The guest house has a kitchenette and a bathroom and overlooks the creek. Flat land off to one side of the house is big enough for a a tennis court or pool.
