They're not making them like this anymore! This is a rare, coveted, and highly sought-after property, the likes of which are increasingly difficult to find in Santa Cruz. Underneath all is the land - 20,000 square feet of it, located on a quiet street in Live Oak, where neighbors still stop to mingle and chat with each other as in days gone by. The main residence faces the street and its distinctive Eichler style with high, peaked windows catches the eye, even shrouded behind the magnificent spreading palm which graces the front yard. Underneath the main house is a spacious basement living space with its own bedroom, bathroom, and living room with its own separate entrance. Further back you'll find a single story white duplex, each side offering two bedrooms, a bathroom, living room, kitchen, and private yard. This property works tremendously well as a "family compound," investment vehicle, with excellent rents and strong potential for redevelopment down the road.
