365 Granite Creek Rd, Santa Cruz, CA 95065

Tucked into a quiet stretch of country just minutes from town, 365 Granite Creek Road is a light-filled Contemporary that's move-in ready and impossible to replicate. The 5-bedroom, 3-bath main house centers on a chef's kitchen that's undergone a high-end, top-to-bottom remodel, and a detached studio with its own half bath adds flexible bonus space for guests, a home office, or a workout room. You get the best of both worlds here - a genuinely rural, tucked-away feel mere minutes from downtown, DeLaveaga Park, Soquel Drive, and main commuter routes. Properties like this don't come along often: plenty of room for everyone to spread out, enough acreage to actually feel private, and just enough homestead character to make real self-sufficiency practical. A fenced garden and a roomy chicken coop, more than two dozen fruit trees, and a solar system that powers the whole property all come together to make this a rare, well-rounded find. The main level offers a full bedroom and bath, an oversized living room, and direct access to the attached two-car garage, while the four bedrooms upstairs open enjoy shared living space that flow easily out to the backyard, that effortless indoor-outdoor connection that defines California living. Come experience it for yourself!
