DESCRIPTION

MOVE IN READY! This modern Santa Cruz mountain sanctuary at the end of a private road welcomes you with an enormous lawn bathed in sunshine, bordered by dogwoods, mature fruit trees and majestic redwoods.

Whether you are looking for a private weekend retreat, a place to entertain, to work from home surrounded by nature or to settle down in a community with great schools - this is the home for you.

Main Living Area

Vaulted ceilings with floor to ceiling windows and skylights bathe this home in natural light. The main living area, featuring a wood burning fireplace, flows into a dining area that easily accommodates a table for ten! Turn right and pop into the kitchen or left within a few steps you’ve walked through the dining room and stepped out the French doors onto a large redwood deck overlooking the forest.

Kitchen

With professional appliances, cherry cabinets, seemingly endless storage and granite counters, the kitchen is a site to see. This spacious kitchen has ample room for several individuals to cook alongside each other. The large island and adjoining bar provide the perfect place to prepare meals while socializing.

Primary Suite

The primary suite, isolated from the other bedrooms, is a sanctuary of peace and quiet, overlooking a dogwood tree that provides privacy. During the Spring the dogwood has magnificent pink blossoms, in the Fall small birds harvest its striking red berries. Sliding doors open to the courtyard where the hydrangea bushes are in bloom during the Summer and the Japanese Maple tree turns red in the Fall.

The primary suite bathroom has a huge soaking tub with an enormous picture window overlooking the garden, a frameless glass shower, granite counters, a unique built-in makeup vanity, cherry cabinets with ample storage and double sinks. Amber glass mosaic tile adorns the bathtub.

The walk-in closet with built-in cabinetry offers a wealth of storage space.

Family Room / Potential ADU

A separate wing of the home offers a large family room with a huge wet bar and wine refrigerator, 2 bedrooms, a full bath, and a separate entrance. Skylights over the family room make this a great space for any number of uses: a potential ADU, an entertainment room, a home office, a separate play space for kids, a fitness room or a gigantic art studio.

2nd Bedroom, Bathroom, Laundry Room & Attic Storage

As one enters the front door, there is a hallway to the right. Just off the hallway is a bedroom with a large window overlooking a crab apple tree and the lawn. Wake up to wildlife grazing in the front yard and birds singing.

As one turns down the hallway there is a bathroom on the left with an adjoining laundry room. The bathroom has a tub, tiled shower trimmed with pebbles and glass doors.

The Laundry room has space for a side-by-side washer and dryer. Built-in storage cabinets are behind the door. There is a pull-down ladder providing access to storage in the attic.

Property

Sitting on nearly 3.5 acres of privacy with a security gate, this property offers a huge level lawn to play on. Additionally, there is our natural forest habitat to explore which, slopes down to year round Mill Creek.

A large, paved parking area and carport offer room for all your vehicles.

Much of the property is sunny and open with over a dozen mature fruit trees, a fenced/irrigated garden space with roses, a securely fenced area built to raise chickens, a 10 X 12 shed to store garden tools and a huge potting table.

The kitchen courtyard offers a charming spot to lounge outside. During the summer, it offers shade beside the blooming hydrangeas while sitting near the hand-carved heart fence enclosing the little rose garden. During the winter, the courtyard is a lovely spot to enjoy the sun. The Meyer lemon tree in the courtyard just off the kitchen offers easy access to fresh lemons during meal prep, while providing privacy to the bedrooms overlooking the courtyard.

Community

This property is located in the Country Estates development, a wonderful neighborhood of Bonny Doon with friendly neighbors walking the quiet streets, served by the highly rated Bonny Doon Elementary School District.
