Great transaction with helpful and cooperative principals and agents! Thanks to everyone! A Spanish-style jewel on a quiet street, this 2 bed, 1.5 ba stucco cottage is naturally cool in summer and comfortably warm in winter. Step inside the graceful arched doorway to the cozy living room with hand-selected Saltillo tile floors, garden views, and Taos-feel fireplace. Short hallways lead to bedrooms, bathrooms, and a galley kitchen with hardwood floor and plenty of cupboard space. Skylights, clerestory windows & glass doors provide pure natural light as you step from the larger bedroom into the sunroom/artists studio. Formerly a garage, this light-filled room has 2 sets of double doors to patio and garden areas. Open the doors & provide a delightful indoor-outdoor space for gatherings, w/ a brick patio in front home & a tiled deck overlooking a drought-resistant garden of flowering shrubs & fruit trees. Pick your own avocados, pears, lemons & tangerines, dine in the garden with friends, breakfast in the sunroom as birds and butterflies flit about. While there's no garage, 2 small sheds, discreetly located, offer storage space; washer-drier hookups are found in a sheltered back-deck area. Close to the heart of vibrant Santa Cruz.
