Remarks

This coastal bungalow is located right in the heart of the famously quaint Capitola Village within the Vacation Rental Use area. The Village has so much to offer in terms of shopping, dining and night life that it is a favorite for vacationers & locals alike. This is the first time this home has been on the market since it was built in 1908! The cozy covered front porch welcomes you in the warmest way. Take note of the double hung windows with original rolled glass at the front of the house. Inside is a bright & cheerful living room/family room combo with wainscoting, board & batten walls, newer dual pane windows and a large window seat with built in storage. Your favorite room might be the wood paneled breakfast room with built in ironing board. Go back in time to grandmas kitchen with ample storage in the wood & metal cabinets. Off the mudroom are the original bathroom with clawfoot tub, and the unique added-on-later triangle bathroom. Out the back door you have a small, almost-private patio with an outdoor shower for rinsing off your day at the beach. The laundry hook ups are inside the garage which isnt quite big enough for a car, but offers plenty of space for your storage needs. This precious little jewel is in need of some repairs, so bring your contractor with you.
