Built in 1912, the historic Piedmont Court is the West Side's Crown Jewel for its exquisite Moorish architecture, charm, community, and conveniences. This cozy, unique unit features two separate rooms across the hall with their own entrances, offering the creative, potential opportunity to carve out 2 bedrooms with a shared kitchen and bathroom. Overlooking the sunny courtyard's bubbling fountain to the east, the sweet kitchen has been downsized to offer fewer/mini appliances, while opportunity abounds to design/remodel your own cheffing masterpiece. The living area overlooks the pretty west garden and features a murphy bed to opt for functional space. Dues include all utilities except phone and property taxes. Who needs a car? This special pied-a-terre is in one of the most sought-after locations a stone's throw from the popular Abbey cafe, downtown Santa Cruz with its cafes, restaurants and theaters, and the bus line to UCSC and beyond. Amenities include an elevator, guest room, extra storage, the grand lobby and piano, a sunny courtyard, verandas and verdant gardens with sitting areas, a workshop, bike storage, garages, optional activities, and more. One resident must be 55+. Any age can own/invest. One pet allowed. All-cash only. All furniture and fixtures may be included.
