Welcome to a serene coastal retreat where zen-inspired design meets modern comfort. Tucked away in a quaint Capitola neighborhood, this home feels like a private sanctuary yet it's just a short stroll to Capitola Village, the beach, Gayles Bakery, local parks, restaurants, shops, and New Brighton Middle School. Youll melt into the peaceful ambiance from the moment you walk through the gated courtyard. This is a home where pride of ownership shines in every corner inside and out. Tastefully remodeled throughout, this 3-bedroom (1 of which is the finished attic), 2-bath home features a light-filled open floorplan with high ceilings, wide transitions, and a beautifully remodeled kitchen. Step outside to palm-shaded patios, a lush garden retreat, or a sunny upstairs balcony, each perfect for relaxation. The vaulted primary suite offers treetop views and a newly remodeled, spa-inspired bath. A finished 290 sq ft bonus room (3rd bedroom) above the garage provides flexible space for kids, guests, a studio, or creative projects. Enjoy the earth-friendly, comfort, savings of a full solar hot water and solar electric systemso you'll pay next to nothing for PG&E.
