This is the one of the few authentic old-time beach cottages left along the coast in Santa Cruz. The last of a rapidly disappearing breed of places that have the power to transport you back in time. To another era when you were a kid and life was slower and simpler. When time felt like it stood still during those long hot summers on the beach. Maybe you remember getting up early in the morning to ride your beach cruiser down one of the hidden paths to the sand. Maybe your grandparents had a summer cabin nearby. Or maybe your parents rented a place for a week or two back in those days, so the family could do all those fun things at the beach. This is that kind of place. One that's delightfully funky but also one that's utterly soulful and charming. A small house that's big in memories. An evocative 1950s vintage beach pad that has a hip local vibe, an ultra laid-back feel and a quiet, unpretentious appeal - which is surprisingly hard to find among those multi-million dollar beach homes these days. And it's tucked away near the end of a narrow private lane, just a stone's throw from one of the finest continuous stretches of beach along the coast. You may have driven through the neighborhood, past Sunnycove and past some of the better-known beach-going streets like 15th and 16th Avenues. All the while, never noticing the quiet private street called Blackpoint Lane camouflaged into the surrounding landscape. It sits near the end of the wide expanse of sand and surf that runs from Black Point all the way to the mouth of the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor. And best of all, this home comes fully-equipped with a walking easement through a neighboring parcel over to a well-worn private beach path that opens up right onto the sand at Black's Beach. This place is everything that's right about the beach in Santa Cruz. A cozy little package with one big heart and an even bigger parcel to consider future expansion, renovation or remodeling on. Or...just settle into the moment. Retire here (at least on the weekends for now) and live like a local. Come for a visit...stay for a lifetime. This beach get-away is going to get up and go, so make plans to see it at the OPEN HOUSE this weekend.
