Description

Immaculately maintained single-story 2 Bedroom + Office, 2 Bath home located at the end of a very quiet cul-de-sac. With a spacious backyard and covered patio, this home comes equipped with an additional Garage/Workshop space, plus a detached Artist Studio/Cottage, you will enjoy the outside of this home as much as the inside. Built in 1929 and tastefully updated in 1990, it is the perfect blend of classic charm and contemporary comfort! From the solid mahogany wood front door, soapbox vaulted ceilings, and custom built-in cabinetry throughout, to the Central Forced Air, updated Kitchen, and new Carpet, you will love this house the from the moment you walk in. Just off the kitchen lies the utility/laundry room, and the Office has its own separate entrance from the rear. Did I mention the home is equipped with ADA Accessibility features? ATTENTION! VALUE! The extra large 7,928 SF lot allows for the addition of a conforming Second Living Unit up to 750 SF, per City of Watsonville.

Neighbors have 2000 strangers over each year for biz. 5 acres of poison oaks, Neighbors very noisey all night long with farm animals cost 1000's of dollars to remove a tree. house might have to be 50 feet away from 100's of barn animals."

    "There is a marvelous community volunteer effort here. We have a grange, club for adults, for kids and a volunteer library. We have a cultural center, a farmers market, and nationally famous sausage and meat. It's quiet and unique here. Picture apple orchards meet the redwoods. I adore my neighbors and my sense of safety and the peace."
