230 Pestana Ave, Santa Cruz CA 95065 | $1,599,000

Nestled in the peaceful, welcoming neighborhood of Santa Cruz Gardens, this quintessential California home checks every box. Fresh from a thoughtful remodel, the 3-bed/3.5-bath residence makes a strong first impression with new exterior paint, a striking front door, and beautifully updated landscaping, including a paver patio that practically begs for a slow morning coffee or a sunset chat with neighbors. Inside, the open-concept kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly into the living room, so you’re always part of the conversation, whether you’re cooking for a crowd or just keeping an eye on the game. Upstairs, two generous primary suites offer privacy and comfort, with one enjoying serene greenbelt views. Downstairs, a third bedroom with its own private entrance, a flex space with a wet bar, and a second fireplace open the door to endless possibilities: a polished home office, a guest retreat, or a multigenerational living setup. All of this, minutes from world-class mountain biking, hiking, and surfing, with easy access to grocery stores, hospitals, and major commute routes.
