A rare offering at a rare Capitola price point, walkable to the beach and village yet nestled in a quiet location, this lovely home has been held in the same family for 50+ years. Situated in a storybook Capitola neighborhood, it's a 5 minute walk down the hill to Capitola's fabled Village Beach and Esplanade, or a 4 minute walk to Gayle's Bakery and Deli. From every perspective, a relaxed coastal lifestyle along Monterey Bay beckons in all directions. Recent upgrades to this home blend warmth, charm, and coastal-home themed decor with thoughtful detailing throughout. The single-level open floorplan features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, including a spacious primary suite with garden views and a sitting area and study. Upgrades include newly installed engineered flooring in a weathered-wood-style finish, a full repaint of interiors and the exterior, as well as new landscaping and a drip irrigation system for low-maintenance upkeep. With natural light, a charming coastal home style, easy beach & village access, & off street parking, this is the perfect opportunity to seize the moment and create the life that dreams are made of---at the beach in Capitola!
