Situated end of cul-de-sac on a quiet usable 1/4 acre lot with fruit trees and blossoming flowers, this versatile Victorian has been thoughtfully improved with over $150,000 in recent upgrades while retaining the appeal of its original character and architectural charm. Ideally located near the heart of Santa Cruz, 419 Locust St offers convenient access to downtown dining, coffee shops, grocery options, local shopping, and everyday services. Enjoy close proximity to neighborhood parks and the city's rich entertainment scene, with the iconic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and coastline just a short drive or bike ride away.

The main residence offers 4 bedrooms with a top-floor studio featuring its own kitchenette and bathroom, creating a flexible space for guests, work, or additional living arrangements. An attached 1-bedroom, 1-bath ADU adds another layer of versatility, with separate entrance. A large rear barn provides additional space and potential, with the possibility of future ADU conversion, subject to buyer verification and permit research. With multiple living spaces, substantial recent improvements, and the distinctive character of a coveted Victorian, 419 Locust offers a rare opportunity to own a truly unique Santa Cruz property with the flexibility today's buyers seek.
