Remarks

This classic Westside Santa Cruz bungalow, centrally located near UCSC is an incredible opportunity. It's perfect for an investor, contractor or really anyone willing to take on a project. The home has been stripped to the studs and is waiting for someone to rebuild it. It will not qualify for traditional financing. As currently configured, this charming home offers a great floor plan with spacious rooms. It includes a large living room with a big picture window and fireplace, a formal dining room, and large kitchen with breakfast nook. There is also an inside laundry/utility room. Spacious backyard and detached garage. As built, the home is set up as a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. There are approved plans with the City of Santa Cruz for a 1951sf, 3 bedroom plus a den, 3 bathroom home. Either build the house as approved or shift back to an as-built configuration. This home offers a wonderful opportunity for someone willing to do some work. It has great investment/rental potential too because you have a premium location near UCSC and downtown Santa Cruz.
