About this House

Exceptional income-producing property with 3 units/cottages in the heart of Capitola. Everything is a short walk or bike ride away- Pleasure Point, Capitola Village, movie theaters, restaurants, and shopping. Property has been meticulously cared for with a low maintenance yard that is cleverly organized for all the necessary toys: surfboards, stand-up paddle boards, bikes, and a VW camper van. Each unit has it's own private patio area and storage shed. The front unit is a 2 bedroom 1 bath cottage with hardwood floors, skylights, and french doors. The middle studio has been completely remodeled with designer "tiny home" elements such as a built-in wall-bed, sofa and coffee table. The back unit is a nice large studio, with an updated bathroom and a sunny, gated courtyard. The driveway provides parking for up to five cars.
