Perched in the hills of Soquel yet a short bike ride away from the charming village of Capitola, this 3,269-square-foot home offers the ultimate blend of coastal living, turnkey comfort, and financial versatility. Boasting panoramic views of the Monterey Bay and over $150K in recent premium upgrades, this thoughtfully refined, split-level sanctuary features independent living spaces on both levels—offering a rare opportunity for significant rental income, multi-generational living, or an expansive private retreat. With 6 generously sized bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, the layout provides tremendous versatility. The sun-drenched upper level features an architectural great room with soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive ocean views. With its open-concept layout, this space easily supports lively dinner parties or curling up by the crackling wood-burning fireplace, embodying the best of California coastal living. Step outside onto the viewing deck to watch the fog roll across the bay and enjoy the nature immersion of the surrounding forest canopy. The lower level offers it's own private entrance as well as a cozy family environment perfectly designed as a clean, modern income property, an independent guest wing, or a comfortable living space for a large family. Significant care went into updating the home's essential features—from fresh flooring, windows, and doors throughout the main spaces, to a massive electrical overhaul, and smart exterior drainage. You can move in with total peace of mind, knowing the home’s core systems and primary spaces have been beautifully and responsibly refreshed. This is a rare gem in the Soquel hills. Properties of this scale, view quality, and dual-income potential rarely come to market and sell quickly. Schedule your private tour today to experience this coastal sanctuary before it's gone.
