A rare opportunity to own a beautifully reimagined residence within historic Piedmont Court, one of Santa Cruz's architectural treasures. Built in the Mission Revival style with Moorish influences, the landmark building features graceful arches, towers, balconies, verandas, an inviting courtyard, and gardens. Thoughtfully designed by Suna Lock of Viewpoint Design (formerly Stripe Design), this light-filled studio honors its historic setting while introducing a refined, modern sensibility. Custom Melim Woodworking cabinetry anchors the kitchen, complemented by a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Fisher & Paykel microwave/convection oven, and induction cooktop. A separate sleeping area features a built-in bed with extra storage, while LVP flooring flows throughout the living areas. The beautifully appointed bath pairs local Fireclay tile with handmade floor tile and includes striking brass lighting and fixtures, and a generous walk-in shower with a built-in bench. Gracious, inviting common areas, assigned garage parking, and additional storage complete this artistic, cozy home, ideally situated near Downtown Santa Cruz, UCSC, beaches, dining, shopping, and all that Santa Cruz has to offer.
