412 & 414 Centennial St
Santa Cruz, CA
For the quintessential Santa Cruz experience, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better location than this! In the heart of the lower westside, on a large 7,013 sf lot, you’ll discover this beautifully updated home (2 bedroom, 1.5 bath, 933 sq ft) and detached accessory dwelling unit (1-bedroom, 1 bath, 500 sq ft), offering an abundance of flexible living options, with designerly craftsmanship at every turn.
The main home was remodeled in 2012 with special care to every detail, large and small. The open kitchen features recycled glass countertops, custom cabinetry, a wet bar, bay window and an effortless flow that leads you to the spacious backyard where you will enjoy the hot tub and outdoor fire pit. A multitude of energy-efficient choices were made including solar panels and an on-demand water heater.
The ADU was built in 2004, every square inch meticulously designed for form, function, beauty and value. Vaulted ceilings, custom woodwork, stained stucco shower surround, a gas fireplace insert, and an abundance of windows are just a few of the many awe inspiring fine points. A private entrance from the street leads you to the backyard offering a variety of functional outdoor spaces replete with a custom redwood round patio, storage shed, artist studio, and a mature Meyer lemon tree.
A few blocks away are some of the most stunning and iconic landmarks in all of Santa Cruz: The Boardwalk, Municipal Wharf, Steamer Lane, Natural Bridges, UCSC, Wilder Ranch and Pogonip. An amalgam of art, innovation, craft, and style in a setting like no other; this is truly one of the best places on earth to live!
