Built in 1888, this is one of the side by side Stick-Eastlake "Twin Sisters" designed by famed architect Daniel Damkroger. Currently listed on the Historic Registry which has protected the authenticity of the exterior. On the interior, many of the original moldings and finishes remain in place. The grand pocket doors separating the original living and dining rooms slide effortlessly, unlike pocket doors of today. The tall base boards, the coved ceilings, the lath and plaster finishes and the detailing throughout all speak to the home's elegant pedigree. Over the years it has come to function as a duplex, but would certainly benefit from a return to its glamorous roots. This portion of Locust Street lays between Mission and the pedestrian stairs down to Chestnut Street, providing an easy stroll to the delights of downtown Santa Cruz. Enjoy fine restaurants, craft ale pubs, movies and all the eclectic joys that Santa Cruz is world famous for, just steps from your classic home. The 1,116 square foot house has a split 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom layout with immense storage space in the sprawling basement and in the spacious attic. The 4,008 foot lot has many fruit trees and a back yard with great potential for a garden and seating area. The location is awesome, the house is a classic, and this opportunity won't last!
