Tucked inside the peaceful and private Shelter Lagoon enclave, this beautifully remodeled townhome offers resort-style living in the heart of Santa Cruz with a rare feature you won't find elsewhere: a scenic trail through Neary Lagoon that leads you all the way to the beach without ever stepping onto a street. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath home has been thoughtfully upgraded with a highly desirable floor plan and custom finishes. The stunning kitchen remodel includes quartz countertops, new appliances, and premium features like pull-out shelving and soft-close drawers. Perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Enjoy vaulted open-beam ceilings, and a private deck overlooking the lush grounds and sparkling pool. With no one above or below, you'll appreciate the privacy. Just a short walk through nature brings you to the Santa Cruz Wharf, Steamer Lane, West Cliff paths, and the Beach Boardwalk. You're also walking distance to downtown Santa Cruz, minutes to UCSC, and enjoy easy commuter access. The resort-like community amenities include a pool, tennis and pickleball courts, EV charging, and beautiful greenbelts and lagoon trails. A rare gem that blends convenience, coastal living, and natural beauty, move-in ready and truly special.
