Listen to the sounds of songbirds and waterfowl from this lovely home abutting Neary Lagoon, a 44-acre pristine wildlife viewing preserve and thriving wetland so close to Santa Cruz beaches that you can hear seagulls, too. Nestled within the peaceful and private Shelter Lagoon community, this beautifully appointed 2-bedroom, 1 1/2 bath condo has been upgraded throughout with new porcelain tile and luxury vinyl plank flooring, new gas fireplace with stacked stone surround, new architectural lighting details including Italian mercury light pendants, new alder wood doors on kitchen and half-bath cabinets and drawers, new sinks and faucets, new quartz countertops and matching backsplash, and a tastefully remodeled full bath. The reverse floor plan maximizes natural light with vaulted ceilings and 4 skylights upstairs, plus a deck looking out towards the preserve and greenbelt. Downstairs are two bedrooms, full bath, a laundry niche, and private patio off the primary bedroom. The resort-like feel of this community is enhanced by tennis and pickleball courts, a sparkling pool surrounded by meticulously landscaped lawn and large shade trees, and access to lagoon trails and floating boardwalks. EV-charging and extra parking are available. Be part of the vibrant Santa Cruz lifestyle.
