Santa Cruz, CA 95062 2-1130 E Cliff DR

This beauty is filled with ageless, tightly fitted tongue-and-groove Douglas fir doorways, ancient redwood planking, vintage fixtures, and the grand centerpiece: panoramic ocean views from the iconic cupola, which has inspired countless individuals since its inception. The walls say, "It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness." Climb the stairs to see for yourself. Long before our modern era, this home flaunts a distinguished history of residents who made their mark in local, regional and national culture and arts. This grand beauty is ready for its next chapter, flaunting great bones, a historic designation, legal duplex status, classic Craftsman wrap-around porches, and endless possibilities. The upstairs is full of vintage built-ins, long-lived fixtures, fathomless books, and ornate carvings still holding the memories of family, friends, celebrations, and laughter, while the first-floor rooms are skillfully arranged, like origami, ready to transform into a swan, a lotus flower, or a real-life crane, floating in the ocean and lake waters seen from the multitude of windows on every level. While the salty air and ocean elements can be harsh on the peeling paint so near to the sea, don't worry, this Majesty's story is not over; it is just a new beginning.
