A rare piece of Santa Cruz history, 233 Van Ness Ave is an 1883 Italianate Victorian that has stood the test of time with grace. This 4-bedroom, 3-bath home sits on a generous quarter-acre lot shaded by mature trees, offering a private sanctuary just minutes from everything that makes Santa Cruz extraordinary, UCSC, the legendary Beach Boardwalk, vibrant dining, and world-class hiking and mountain biking. Rich in architectural character and one-of-a-kind detail, this is more than a home; its a living piece of California heritage.
