Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath, 2,208 sq. ft. retreat is a true hidden oasis. With a park-like setting and a secret garden feel, this home offers an unexpected sense of serenity while still being in a prime location. Just around the corner from the 67-acre Arana Gulch greenbelt, enjoy easy access to scenic walking and biking trails leading to sunny coastal meadows along the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor. Plus, some of the best stretches of sand and surf on the California coast are just minutes away. Inside, soaring ceilings and a dramatic central fireplace set the tone, while the open kitchen with a large center island is perfect for gathering. The floor plan offers flexibility with a ground-floor bedroom or office, and a luxe primary suite upstairs. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the home opens to expansive decks, lush lawns, and garden spaces under the canopy of a stunning old oak. Recently refreshed throughout, this private retreat is a rare find offering both tranquility and convenience.
