There are ocean views, and then there is sheer beachfront bliss.
Inspired by the luxury yachts docked a stone’s throw away, the sandy beaches and Pacific Ocean at your front door, and the magnificent beauty of its natural surroundings, this three-level, craftsman-style home was designed and built in 2000.
What was once the location for the electric trolley station that took passengers into Capitola at the turn of the century, the property at 2615 E. Cliff Drive is now home to the perfect beach getaway.
Work all week in Silicon Valley and transport yourself to paradise on weekends less than an hour away by car but a whole new world for your mind and body to reboot to the soothing sounds of the surf.
Everything about this home reflects superb craftsmanship and an attention to detail.
Its design and finishes were inspired by its iconic location at the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor and Twin Lakes neighborhood that offers all the best that this beach town has to offer.
Consider the rich custom Honduras mahogany woodwork and cabinetry as seen in the luxury yachts that sail in and out of the harbor, and the rare blue granite counters that reflect the ocean’s hues.
Relish the limestone floors with a custom “waves of sand” finish and the walls that are hand troweled with a sand finish both mimicking the beach less than 100 feet away.
Fully furnished, the home also features the artwork of legendary and worldrenowned photographer David “Nelly” Nelson who specializes in surf and skate action/lifestyle shots including many memorable photos of Mavericks.
The exterior finishes and classic façade are equally rich and feature redwood shingles milled in Oregon complemented by the stacked, custom linear cut and tumbled Vermont Bluestone wainscoting and decorative walkways.
The three-level home features two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a main-level finished “flexible space” garage with bathroom ideal for bonus room and entertainment center that could be an extension of the beach party.
Spacious balconies extend from the two upper floors and showcase glorious panoramic views, two lighthouses, and the unparalleled beauty of a California coastline sunset.
The master suite on the upper level is a luxurious retreat space. Savor the ocean views while soaking in the jetted tub with limestone surround, or watch the sunset from the ozone hot tub on the balcony, and bid adieu to another remarkable day at the beach.
The home features direct beach access and is walking distance or a water taxi ride away from renowned restaurants like Aldos and the Crows Nest, the Boardwalk, and the pictureque harbor. Watch world-class surfers catch the waves or the sailboat regatta. Body surf, or bike and jog along the beachfront trail, pick up a game of beach volleyball, or enjoy the annual holiday lighted boat parade.
The home is also a wonderful opportunity to own a high end vacation rental and couples getaway that attracts visitors from all over the world to this breathtaking destination.
Additional features include an electric car charging station, wood casement picture windows, breakfast bar, stainless appliances, indoor laundry, off-street parking, outdoor shower, and additional backyard deck. Located less than an hour from the San Jose International Airport with easy access to Highways 1 and 17.
