Description

You awaken to the golden light of a Santa Cruz sunrise filtering through oversized windows. You walk out on the balcony of your primary suite and bathe in the sound of the waves. You freshen up in your spa-like en-suite, complete with rain shower and soaking tub, and you linger, savoring the serenity, before heading downstairs on wide-plank oak floors. The heart of this like-new haven greets you, unfolding in an epic open-concept great room. A soaring live-edge wood accent crowns the sleek gas fireplace, with natural light flooding across crisp white cabinetry, marble counters, copper-hooded range, and vast island in your chef's kitchen. You make your coffee and turn, reminiscing on your latest family dinner at the farmhouse table. Your mind wanders to how blessed you are; your Home has it all. The 2 beds with a shared bath upstairs and the luxurious suite you just left, the balconies with ocean views, the second primary suite and office on the ground floor, and the neighborhood, SC Gardens, with its sun belt, pool, elementary school, and central location. You're minutes from the area's best shopping and dining, and the buzz of downtown's farm-to-table scene, yet worlds away in peaceful seclusion. You walk outside and stretch in the sunlight on your deck and can't help but smile.
