Remarks

A rare gem at the Harbor with front row placement for those sparkling harbor and ocean views you dream of. Walls of glass let the sun and views stream in, while two decks provide a vantage point for jaw-dropping sunsets. But wait, you can be lying in bed, having breakfast or washing dishes, and you still have those same captivating views. This coastal retreat invites celebration, with a handy BBQ deck in back, toasty fireplace, 2-car garage, plus off-street parking for guests. And if they are staying over, the two bedrooms and two baths sit on separate levels, with a bonus room mid-level for your home office or another sleeping space. Newly refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, vaulted ceilings and inside laundry. If you're in the walking mood, you have Twin Lakes Beach, the Crows Nest and Johnnys, Java Junction, Kayak Connection, SUP Shack, Santa Cruz Yacht Club, Arana Gulch trails, and numerous outdoor activities so close by. Let's make every day a vacation!
