This might be one of the most compelling values in Scotts Valley: two separate residences for less than many single-family homes. Set at the end of a cul-de-sac surrounded by greenery, this duplex creates options that are increasingly hard to find. Live in one and rent the other, create a separate space for extended family, or use both residences as part of a long-term investment strategy, all while enjoying a quieter Scotts Valley setting with the redwoods, coast, and Silicon Valley within reach. The upper 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence is bright and inviting, with large windows bringing in the surrounding trees and an open kitchen and dining area made for everyday living. Downstairs, a separate 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence adds even more flexibility. A detached two-car garage and shared laundry complete the property. Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park is just minutes away, Santa Cruz and the beaches are a short drive from home, and Highway 17 provides convenient access toward the South Bay. Local shopping, dining, parks, and everyday essentials are also nearby. It's a property that gives you more than a place to live. It gives you options for how you live, who you live alongside, and how your property can work for you over time.
