Set across from a peaceful arroyo on Santa Cruz's coveted Upper Westside, this beautifully curated 3BD | 2.5BA residence blends architectural volume with refined designer style and indoor-outdoor living. Thoughtfully reimagined by Stripe Designs, the home features soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and warm LVP flooring throughout. Updated windows and plantation shutters enhance comfort and privacy. The designer kitchen makes a bold statement with a Nostalgie range, quartzite counters extending into the backsplash and cabinetry, brass pulls, and a bar area with 52-bottle wine fridge. A welcoming hexagon tile entry and bespoke living room cabinetry with custom floating shelves add architectural interest and function. The private primary suite offers custom sconces, dual walk-in closets, a spa-inspired bath with designer tilework and a sculptural concrete vessel sink. Two additional bedrooms and full bath on the main level, including one styled as an office with built-ins. A chic powder room upstairs and a laundry room off the garage, add convenience. Outside, a wraparound flagstone patio with outdoor kitchen, BBQ, multiple seating areas, and a teak Japanese soaking tub creates an ideal entertaining retreat. Moments to beaches, trails, wineries, and Westside favorites.
