Welcome to 916 Melrose Avenue in Santa Cruz, a beautifully updated 2 Bed & 2 Bath home offering 1,229 sq ft of living space on a 5,140 sq ft lot in the highly desirable Banana Belt neighborhood. Thoughtfully remodeled, featuring a new roof, siding, paint, furnace/ducting, Milgard dual-pane windows, and a NEM2.0 4.345kW solar system with Tesla charger. Inside, refinished white oak hardwood floors and West Elm lighting set a modern tone. The living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace, while the kitchen impresses with quartz counters, farmhouse sink, walk-in pantry, and premium Samsung/GE appliances.
