Located near UCSC and Westlake Elementary schools, University Terrace Park and Nobel Street Park, Westlake Pond, and the UCSC bus line, this true single-level, end unit is tucked away in what may be the best spot in the complex. Large windows provide ample natural light and views of the greenbelt bordering the unit, as well as the lush private garden patio, complete with a large exterior storage closet. Open floorplan from the living and dining areas to the kitchen, and multiple closets for storage. Sliders in both the primary suite andliving room create a connection to nature and indoor-outdoor living. Side-by-side in-unit laundry, 1-car carport, freshly painted interior, and new light fixtures. This well-maintained, pet friendly (see CC&Rs for restrictions), Bay Tree Community has recently repaved the parking lot and installed new fencing creating a fresh look. Easy access to shopping and restaurants of downtown Santa Cruz, the Swift Street Courtyard area, and to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, the Municipal Wharf, and the beach!
