Homes on the 300 block of John Street almost never hit the market - the last sale was 2012. Now the door is open. If you've been looking for the kind of life that feels like a Saturday morning every day - coffee in hand, the Pacific a few blocks away, a neighborhood that knows your name - that life exists. It starts here. This is the Westside of Santa Cruz. Most coveted zip in town. Once you land here, you don't leave. West Cliff Drive is minutes away: run the cliffside path, watch the surfers drop into Steamer Lane, or walk the dog while the fog burns off. This is your commute now. Come home to a beautiful single-story ranch - warm stucco exterior, mature bougainvillea at the entry, a blooming ornamental tree out front, and a backyard with real room to breathe: grassy, private, citrus tree heavy with fruit, and area for your projects. A few blocks away, Swift Street Courtyard is your new living room: 11th Hour Coffee, El Salchichero, Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing, New Leaf, and boutique wine tasting - all walkable. Locals guard it like a secret.The home is move-in ready. The life is ready too.
