On a charming tree-lined street on the desirable Upper West Side, this striking Thatcher and Thompson-designed home is awaiting its new owner (You). As you enter, you are immediately greeted by the airy and light-filled open living area with spacious nine-foot ceilings. Your eye is drawn to the fireplace, and you imagine yourself curled up on the couch, sipping your favorite beverage, and enjoying the cozy holiday season in style. You meander toward the open kitchen, with black granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, where you visualize your family and friends gathered 'round exchanging stories and jovial laughter while your favorite holiday meal finishes in the oven. A half bath downstairs, and a back door going out to your own private backyard, completes the entertaining hub of the Home. You wander upstairs, greeted by fresh carpet and soaring ceilings, and alight on the landing. Two spacious bedrooms, with views of the surrounding hills and neighborhoods, share an immaculate bathroom with dual sinks and a full tub. As if all this wasn’t enough, you are three houses down from the beautiful neighborhood park, with breathtaking canyon and ocean views; the perfect place to take in the Sunset and let your shoulders down. Here’s the kicker: in this epic location, you are less than 1 mile from Swift St Courtyard with award-winning coffee shops, breweries, and wineries (the hub of the Westside). Within 5 minutes, you could be sipping your favorite beverage, hiking amongst the cows and wildflowers, or checking the surf on Westcliff. Does it get any better?
The Upper West Side of Santa Cruz offers a laid-back coastal lifestyle with a distinctly local feel. Perched just above the city, the neighborhood blends leafy residential streets, ocean breezes, and a welcoming community vibe. Here, you’ll find a mix of classic bungalows, mid-century homes, and thoughtfully updated properties, many with views stretching toward the bay or the mountains. Residents enjoy easy access to UCSC, West Cliff Drive, and the beaches, as well as the vibrant shops and cafés of Mission Street and downtown. Wide sidewalks, parks, and trailheads make it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, while its quiet streets create a peaceful retreat from the bustle below. The Upper West Side combines convenience, natural beauty, and a warm neighborhood feel—one of Santa Cruz’s most desirable places to call home.
