Ideally situated in the highly sought-after Santa Maria Cliffs neighborhood, this beautifully updated home offers an exceptional coastal lifestyle just steps from Sunny Cove Beach. Leave the car behind and enjoy the convenience of walking or biking to the beach, the Santa Cruz Harbor, waterfront dining, local cafes, and the popular Sunday farmers market just across the street. Positioned on a spacious corner lot, the home is designed for comfortable single-level living with three bedrooms and a beautifully updated bathroom on the main floor. Above the garage, a generous bonus room with a full bath offers outstanding flexibility; ideal as a family room, guest suite, home office, or future primary retreat. Plans are drawn up for a primary suite, or the space also presents an excellent opportunity to create an ADU for multigenerational living or additional income.
