This home is situated on a sunny 1.63 acre parcel of mixed rolling prairie and light woods that is private on almost every side. The 750 square foot, 2 bed, 1 bath house has been lovingly maintained and it shows. The sparkling refinished oak floor highlights the vintage Wedgewood stove in the kitchen. The breakfast nook is accented with windows that open up to outdoor garden space, perfect for enjoying your coffee on a peaceful morning. Whimsical colors punctuate the cozy yet comfortable living space and the pass through bathroom retains its vintage elegance with a pedestal sink and clawfoot tub. Extra storage space in the adjacent shed includes a washer/dryer. The beauty of this property is the flexibility it gives with an opportunity to build a much larger house and keep the existing home as an ADU. Convenient access to Manresa beaches, La Selva, Watsonville, and Highway 1.
