This single-level custom home built in 1977 has been updated and lovingly maintained by the current owners for the past 21 years. Set within a small community of 25 homes near the end of Pau Hana Drive, yet only 6 miles from Soquel Village, this home will be your hillside retreat after a long day of work or a home office with peaceful forest views. On a 2.43 acre parcel, the 2,242 square-foot home provides multiple areas for entertaining and excellent separation of space. Two of the three bedrooms share direct access to the family room, while the main bedroom is set off to itself, with a full bath, multiple closets, and access to a deck and patio. There are light hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and cook's kitchen with a Viking range, cherry cabinets, and a copper-topped bar. Soaring ceilings contribute to the open and airy feel of the common spaces. The large garage includes built-in shelving and a workshop alcove, as well as an oversized laundry room with 220-volt power.
