About 4535 Portola Dr
Coastal living meets opportunity on Portola Drive! Just moments from the Santa Cruz coastline, Pleasure Point surf, beaches, parks, and local favorites, this charming single-level home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,174 sq ft, and a 5,009 sq ft lot. A freshly painted exterior, natural stone accents, white board-and-batten siding, a two-car garage, and drought-tolerant landscaping create inviting curb appeal. Inside, warm hardwood floors flow through the living room, where a whitewashed brick fireplace anchors the space. The kitchen features oak cabinetry, dark granite countertops, a gas cooktop island, and stainless steel appliances. A versatile bonus room/sunroom opens to the spacious fenced backyard with a storage shed, mature fruit tree, and room to garden or entertain. The primary ensuite features a tiled shower, while the hall bathroom offers a tub/shower combination. The garage includes built-in cabinetry and laundry hookups. Ideally positioned between Pleasure Point and Capitola Village and just steps from Privates Beach and surf access, this home puts coastal living at your doorstep. Ready for its next chapter, this is a wonderful opportunity to make your mark in one of Santa Cruzs coveted coastal neighborhoods.
