Unique Depot Hill home! Two units on one HUGE lot, great expansion potential. Large main home plus a studio cottage complete with a kitchenette and private deck. The sunny main home has been remodeled with new flooring throughout and a new kitchen. The bathroom has been beautifully renovated with gorgeous tile, a dual vanity, and updated fixtures. Large floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room look out into the wooded lot and allow generous sunlight to pour in, watch all of the beautiful monarch butterflies from your living room! The private wooded lot makes it feel like you are on a retreat, but you are within walking distance to Capitola Village and all the fun! The homeowner has spent extensive time working with a local architect on a major expansion. These plans will be conveyed with the home and are available for review. Meandering paths lead through a large yard, ready for a creative touch. A detached garage has room for all your toys or use as a private gym or home office. You could even put your car in it! This home is tucked away from the summer crowds yet an easy walk to the beach and the bluff trail. Lots of space to garden and enjoy the cool ocean breeze on the expansive deck and grounds. Peek ocean views from the deck. Check out this unique Depot Hill home!
