Overview

This cottage-style duplex offers two distinct units with ocean views from a fenced-in front porch. The front unit features an updated kitchen and bathroom along with fresh paint. The back unit has also been refreshed with an updated kitchen, updated flooring, a remodeled bathroom, and fresh paint, plus a multi-purpose loft area that helps expand usable interior space. Previously used as a short-term rental, the back unit includes a quaint fenced yard garden and a patio suited for outdoor dining and beach-climate relaxation.

Located at 216 Cypress Avenue in Santa Cruz’s Seabright beach neighborhood, the property is just yards from the beach. Street parking is provided on a street with one-way traffic, which the remarks note helps keep beach traffic minimal.

For tenants, investors, or owner-occupants, the layout supports multiple occupancy strategies, including renting one unit while living in the other or renting both units. The combination of updated interior finishes and outdoor space tied to the back unit’s yard and patio can be appealing for day-to-day livability and guest-friendly hosting. Street parking should be considered in planning for day-to-day access.
