Remarks

Beautifully maintained custom home in Santa Cruz's desirable Carbonera Estates, offering 3,800 square feet of living space in an elevated setting near the top of the hill. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home enjoys sweeping views across DeLaveaga Park and Carbonera Estates to the ocean beyond. Incredibly quiet and peaceful, the setting feels removed from it all while remaining just minutes from downtown Santa Cruz and approximately 30 minutes from San Jose, with convenient access to Highway 17. The expansive two-level floor plan offers exceptional flexibility. The main level features the primary suite, an additional bedroom, generous living and dining spaces, a separate den, and a spacious kitchen surrounded by windows that take advantage of the home's elevated setting and natural light. Downstairs, a large family room with a bar and newer fireplace is joined by two additional bedrooms and flexible space for a home office, gym, guests, or recreation. Outdoor spaces and well-maintained landscaping provide additional opportunities to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings and views. The home has been thoughtfully cared for and improved with a newer roof, owned solar with enough capacity to charge your EV and still have a mini
