Gorgeous Historic Victorian Duplex, Quick Walk to Wharf, Beach & Boardwalk
1887 Victorian Historic Landmark on Beach Hill. Beautiful 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom on the UPPER LEVEL of Eastlake style Victorian duplex.
You are just a minute or two walk from the Santa Cruz Main Beach, Wharf and Boardwalk. Surf at Cowell's or just enjoy the sun and fun. We have boogie boards and some wetsuits that you are welcome to use and there are books and games for the family.
Approximately 1900 square feet of space. Multiple hand blown original glass bay windows, very bright and cheery. Lovely hardwood floors throughout. Beautiful trim details, doors, original hardware, amazing chandeliers, fantastic deck etc. See it on the cover of “The Sidewalk Companion to Santa Cruz Architecture” at the book section of the MAH (The Museum of Art & History).
This is a rare opportunity to stay in one of the oldest and best-kept houses/landmarks in Santa Cruz. The intricate exterior is heavily adorned with gingerbread and is detailed with six colors.
The space has a large living room complete with sofa, wing back chairs, and 60" 4K curved flat screen TV with cable and DVR. The dining room features a large dining room table with six chairs. The spacious kitchen has garbage disposal, gas stove, dishwasher, and newer refrigerator. One bedroom features a gorgeous four poster queen sized bed with a 37" flat screen TV, the second bedroom lovely antique bedroom set with a full bed and 55" flat screen TV with DVR, the third a queen sized Murphy bed and the fourth bedroom a remarkable full sized Murphy bed that transforms into a desk. One of the bathrooms has a clawfoot tub with pedestal sink, the second bathroom is a Jack and Jill to two of the bedrooms and has a shower. Both are nicely remodeled.
The home is ideally located at the top of Beach Hill, with a very short walk (2- 3 minutes) to the beach/wharf or about ten minutes to downtown. Nice backyard and small upstairs back deck.
Tandem parking for up to two large cars in driveway + 1 parking permit for street.
Sorry, but we absolutely do not allow pets or smoking on the premises (inside or outside).

About the host
Hosted by Nicole Sanchez
We are a family of four who absolutely love the beach, outdoor activities, cooking, antiques and music.
Why they chose this property
We have always loved Santa Cruz and have so many wonderful memories here. We fell in love with this historic landmark Victorian and are excited for you to build your own memories here.
What makes this property unique
So close to the beach and the wonderful dining, shopping and culture downtown. We feel like we don't even need a car living here. It is in the center of everything and a nice luxurious retreat where you can kick back with plenty of room and all the amenities that make it feel like home. Boogie boards, beach towels, wetsuits, games are at your disposal.
