I understand what you might be thinking: How is a condo listed for $2.5 million? Well, let me tell you why it's worth every penny. When you consider oceanfront properties in Santa Cruz County, they all come with coastal issues, & to buy a home of similar quality, you'd have to triple your budget. This condo has all the features of a perfect second home, including a new seawall below the complex. You would spend years trying to replicate this beauty with a first-class designer, contractor, & the patience of a saint. In the last few years, this unit was stripped to the studs & completely redone, sparing no expense. We are talking about world-class finishes in a beach home that you can enjoy when you want to & lock up and leave for your next adventure with no worries. Picturesque views over Corcoran Lagoon on one side (the ornithologists dream), & dazzling sunrise-to-sunset views over Santa Maria Beach on the other side (an ocean enthusiast/ marine biologists dream). There are no other beach front complexes on the sand from Capitola to the far Westside of Santa Cruz that offer even remotely the lifestyle of this unit. If you appreciate the absolute best, take an elevator ride to the second floor and experience what I am talking about: this is the best in Santa Cruz coastal living.
