A Light-filled Home With Room To Work In The Heart Of...

Discover a light-filled home with a unique, non-traditional layout at 901 River Street in Santa Cruz. This spacious one-bedroom home with an additional flex room offers over 1,000 sq ft of adaptable space, ideal for those seeking a live/work setup, creative studio space, or a home that breaks away from a typical residential floor plan. The property's residential and community commercial zoning supports a more versatile lifestyle, making it especially appealing for creatives, remote workers, or commuters looking for extra functional space beyond a standard bedroom layout.



Inside, the home offers a spacious and flexible layout, a functional kitchen, and convenient in-unit laundry with a dedicated laundry room that also provides additional storage. Multiple skylights throughout the home bring in abundant natural light, creating a bright and welcoming interior. A newly installed alarm system adds peace of mind and security.



The oversized two-plus car garage is a major asset, offering extensive space and storage. While the garage is best suited to comfortably fit one vehicle, the additional square footage allows for a newly updated built-in office or studio with brand-new flooring, as well as ample room for creative work, hobbies, or organization.



Outdoor space further enhances the live/work feel of the property. The back deck offers plenty of room for potted plants and is great for soaking up the sun, while the front patio provides additional outdoor space ideal for creative tinkering, small projects, or enjoying a fully gated and enclosed outdoor area that offers privacy from the road.



Located in the River Street area near a mix of artist live/work spaces and residential homes, this property offers a unique community vibe just minutes from downtown Santa Cruz. Quick access to Highway 9 and Highway 17 makes commuting over the hill or into the Santa Cruz Mountains simple and efficient, while nearby shops, cafes, breweries, and riverwalk paths add to the appeal of this central location.



Whether you're a creative professional, commuter, or someone seeking a flexible home that supports both living and working, 901 River Street offers a rare opportunity in a highly accessible and dynamic neighborhood.



Pets welcome with additional $35/month pet rent per pet. Maximum of two pets allowed. Breed and weight restrictions may apply.
