Welcome to 333 Dakota Ave, a uniquely charming and generously sized 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit in a classic Santa Cruz duplex. Nestled on a quiet corner lot in one of the city’s most desirable and central neighborhoods, this home offers the perfect blend of vintage character, spacious living, and modern comfort. Conviniently located near downtown Santa Cruz, beautiful beaches, local cafes, and nearby parks, this location combines convenience with coastal charm.
Inside, you'll find a spacious open-concept kitchen, thoughtfully designed with ample cabinet storage, generous counter space, and room for a dining table or breakfast nook—perfect for home cooks, casual meals, or hosting friends. The living room is oversized and bright, featuring multiple large windows that bring in cool coastal breezes, a ceiling fan and abundant natural light, making it an inviting space to relax or entertain.
Each of the three bedrooms is well-proportioned, offering two large windows, an overhead light, and a closet. The natural light in these rooms creates a warm, airy feel throughout the day, making them ideal for restful or productive work-from-home setups.
The home retains much of its original charm, with vintage details and a timeless layout, but has also been thoughtfully maintained over time. Notable upgrades include new hard surface flooring throughout and pior to move in, a modernized bathroom for added comfort and style (photos to come).
Step outside to enjoy the shared backyard, which includes a large lawn and a furnished sitting area—a perfect setting for outdoor dining, morning coffee, or relaxing under the Santa Cruz sun. The unit also includes full access to the garage, offering additional storage or flexible space (note: not suitable for vehicle parking), as well as a shared washer and dryer on-site for convenience (please note it is not maintained by the owner).
