323 Broadway # A1

Ever wish Santa Cruz living was just easier? This is a ground-floor home, so there are no stairs or elevators to deal with. Seabright Beach is about a mile away. Whole Foods, downtown, and the new Santa Cruz Athletic Club are close enough that you can run out for coffee or groceries without turning it into a whole outing. The back patio faces a greenbelt with palm trees and open sky. It's surprisingly quiet back there: a perfect spot to sit in the evening, read, or have a drink and wind down. Inside, the work has already been done. The kitchen and bathrooms have been updated. Theres new flooring, fresh paint, clean lighting, and a wood-burning fireplace that gives the living room some warmth and personality. You're not walking into a project. The primary bedroom is a comfortable size with its own bathroom, good storage, and in-unit laundry. The community is calm and well-kept, and theres a pool for days when you want sunshine without the beach crowds or hunt for parking. If you want the Santa Cruz lifestyle without living in the middle of the noise, this is a place worth seeing.
