Spend summer in a charming duplex a few blocks from the Santa Cruz beach in California's Monterey Bay.  The home is furnished comfortably with a mix of antiques and good furniture and a lot of art. Its a pretty place with a bright, skylit, highly-functional kitchen with renovated O'Keefe & Merrit stove with warming shelf and griddle, large refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker, etc. The tiled bathroom has a large skylight and deep clawfoot tub(no shower). There is a comfy living room with TV/DVD and sound system, leather couch and other big sinkinable upholstered chairs. The dining room has a smallish antique table suitable for three that's expandable with good antique ladderback chairs. One large bedroom has become a charming queen bedroom on one side and sitting room on the other, with bay windows and a sliding glass door to the large backyard with avocado, orange, lemon and walnut trees and lots of flowers. 

Also great for those who like relaxing at outdoor restaurants, visits to San Francisco, San Jose (30 minutes away) or Monterey/Carmel (45min), or just sunbathing at the beach or in the garden. This house has a big wild garden in the back with veggies planted and the aforementioned fruit trees, and an interesting one in front, there are two pretty parks within a few blocks. 

The second bedroom in the house has been converted to an office/studio/sewing room jammed with art supplies and books stuff, so not much of a second bedroom...but the desk is waiting for your own laptop and boy do you have reading material. We could discuss use of some of the art supplies too--I'll never be a painter (I'm a sculptor). 

This home is suitable for a single or a couple--with a baby would be fine. (The one bathroom is very close to the bedroom.) No pets please. 

The place has wifi and cable tv. 

Bright and spacious 425 square feet studio with an open beam vaulted ceiling in the living room with covered sky light. For reference purposes, the studio is the size of a 2 car garage and work shop area.

FULLY furnished studio ready to use with everything except your clothes and food stuffs..

Maximum 4 people, NO SMOKING,
