Asking Price: $1,349,000

Set in Scotts Valley's sought-after Granite Creek neighborhood, this single-level 3-bed, 2-bath home sits on 0.41 acres of mature redwoods and park-like grounds with the kind of privacy that is genuinely hard to find this close to town. Winding roads, larger parcels, and custom homes tucked into the trees give this pocket a mountain-residential feel buyers keep coming back for. Inside, 1,714 square feet of remodeled living space features warm hardwood flooring, soaring ceilings, & a wood-burning fireplace. The shed roof opens the kitchen and dining area to a dramatic 15-foot vaulted ceiling. Out back, a 1,000-year-old old-growth coast redwood anchors the yard. A front yard fairy circle, 37 variety rose garden, and river rock drought-resistant landscaping complete the grounds. The detached multi-car garage includes heated living space for an office, studio, or gym. Major systems have been fully updated: new copper repipe, whole house water filter, new furnace, inline water heater, mini split AC, updated electrical with grounded subpanels, and more. Receipts for everything, all licensed contractors. Santa Cruz beaches and Silicon Valley are both within easy reach. Scotts Valley's new Town Center is in development nearby. The timing to buy into Granite Creek has rarely been better.
