About this House

Rare opportunity to own two detached residences on one property in the heart of Capitola, just minutes from Capitola Village, the beach, restaurants, and shops. Unlike a traditional duplex, each home is its own separate structure, offering exceptional privacy and flexibility with no shared living walls and no one living above or below. Both residences feature 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, an attached 1-car garage, and in-unit laundry. Each has a bedroom and full bath on the ground floor, while upstairs the kitchen opens to the living and dining areas alongside a spacious primary suite. Unit B is enhanced by vaulted ceilings and a private deck, adding to its open and airy feel. Unit A is currently tenant occupied, while Unit B is owner occupied, providing future flexibility for an owner-user. Live in one and rent the other, enjoy a Capitola getaway with built-in income, or add a unique coastal property to your investment portfolio. A special opportunity to enjoy the Capitola lifestyle just moments from the Village. Adjacent property also available, creating a rare opportunity to acquire two neighboring income properties totaling five units in Capitola.
