Discover the Westside lifestyle in this Santa Cruz bungalow that blends charm, location, and value. Set on a sunny corner lot, the home is officially listed as 2 bedrooms and 1 bath with approximately 810 sq ft, yet also features expanded spaces that provide flexibility for work, guests, hobbies, or storage. Inside, abundant natural light enhances the living spaces, while the kitchen offers granite counters and stainless steel appliances both practical and low-maintenance. Paid solar supports energy efficiency, helping to reduce monthly costs and promote sustainability. Outdoors, the corner setting not only adds curb appeal but also provides space for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the coastal air. The location is unmatched: minutes from beaches, West Cliff Drive, UCSC, shopping, and a variety of local dining options. Adding to its appeal, a rare financing opportunity is available through an assumable VA loan at a below-market interest rate, creating significant long-term savings for qualified buyers. Additionally, community heroes including military, veterans, law enforcement, healthcare workers, firefighters, and teachers may qualify for further benefits through the Homes for Heroes program.
