46 Beulah Dr, Santa Cruz, CA 95060

For this location, under $1M its honestly hard to beat. Youre a few minutes to Scotts Valley, 17, and midtown, with backroad options that end up being more useful than youd think. Close to Skypark, Henry Cowell, Whole Foods, The Buttery, and still an easy drive to the beach. Its quiet here. Trees, birds, and none of the usual road noise. Good light too, sun in the morning, shade later, so youll probably find yourself outside more than expected. Inside, its simple and it works. Original hardwood floors, beadboard, and a loft that adds a little flexibility. Just under 1,000 sq ft, but it doesnt feel tight. The kitchens the standout, bigger than youd expect, open to the living space, with real storage and a proper pantry. The bathrooms been updated with a new shower insert, vanity, and an operable skylight. Theres also a tankless water heater, added insulation, and structural work already handled in the garage. Outside, theres a new front door, updated fencing between neighbors, and fresh siding on the shed. Its easy to live in, and thats usually what matters.
