Single Family Residence In Santa Cruz

”Don’t rush me. I’ve been getting ready since 1918.” Welcome to 436 Escalona Drive, a Westside Santa Cruz craftsman where every final touch has been placed with care and over a century of character is ready for its next chapter. Fresh stems on the table, candles lit, pillows fluffed: this home is dressed for its debut. Step inside to timeless craftsman charm and a layout that feels gracious and easy. The formal dining room is made for long dinners and longer conversations, while the separate family room invites slow Sunday mornings with coffee in hand. The kitchen features a gas range, ready for everything from weeknight meals to holiday gatherings. 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths offer comfort without the fuss. Downstairs, unfinished lower-level bonus space is the home’s little secret: picture a studio, gym, office, or creative hideaway. Laundry is tucked into a dedicated utility room, central forced-air keeps things cozy & owned solar makes it eco friendly. Outside, the home has room to breathe on approximately 10,585 sq ft lot, nearly a quarter acre, with off-street parking and space to garden, gather, or unwind. All this on a sought-after Westside street close to schools, parks, coffee, markets, and the coastline. A hundred-plus years of character, and it has never looked better.
