924 3rd Street Listed by Duane Adam Extraordinary Queen Anne There may be no other property in Santa Cruz as well known as Golden Gate Villa. This lavish and ornate Queen Anne Victorian was built on Beach Hill in West Santa Cruz from 1890 to 1891. Boasting approximately 10,500 square feet which is shared between three levels, the master craftsmanship can be spotted as soon as one enters the home. Surprisingly, the quality still awes those who experience it and what was astonishing 100 years ago remains astonishing today. You'll find some of the most beautiful, Tiffany grade stained glass windows to be found anywhere graciously spread throughout the home. The staircase window which was renovated in 1990, was reportedly appraised for $450,000 and is a spectacle that refracts the late afternoon sun throughout the 2nd level. Most of the rooms have views and depending on which side of the home you're in, you can enjoy those of the ocean or of downtown Santa Cruz. There's also a detached Carriage House and a basement so adequate room is never an issue. There's also parking for approximately 9 cars. This spectacular home is priced for an immediate sale. If you've ever dreamed about living in a famous and well appointed vintage masterpiece, do not miss this once in a lifetime opportunity. Features
