Perched on sought-after Beach Hill, this home offers the perfect mix of coastal charm and everyday convenience. All three bedrooms are generously sized, with the primary boasting a dramatic vaulted ceiling that adds light and airiness. The open kitchen flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas, making it ideal for gatherings, while a side deck provides a sunny outdoor retreat: an excellent spot for an evening outdoor meal. A small front yard frames the entry, and inside you'll find high-end carpeting, fresh designer paint, and newly refinished floors that give the home a polished, move-in ready feel. The private rooftop deck offers space for a hot tub and peeks of the ocean when the trees are trimmed, setting the stage for a truly unique escape. The well-run HOA ensures peace of mind, and parking is a breeze with a private garage, additional covered space, visitor spots, and even street parking passes included. Step outside and you're just a short distance to downtown Santa Cruz, the Boardwalk, and the soon-to-open Santa Cruz Warriors event center. With the bus line to campus close by, this location balances recreation, culture, and everyday practicality. This Beach Hill residence brings together the best of coastal living in one welcoming package.
