Rarely are luxury homes on the West Cliff of Santa Cruz available for sale. Bordered by the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf and Natural Bridges State Beach, and fronted by the Monterey Bay, West Cliff is an oasis within the city. West Cliff is one of the most desirable neighborhoods on the Central Coast, and 103 Auburn Avenue is one of its finest and unique homes.

103 Auburn Avenue is an architectural masterpiece, an ode to classic elegance and a nautical craftsman aesthetic. Meticulously built by Meschi Construction, Inc., construction was completed in 2008. Exquisitely cared for and freshly refinished, the home looks just-built, today.

Enter the heavy front door with its recycled-glass inset that creates rainbow reflections inside. The amber-hue recycled glass flows through kitchen pantry-door and stove-backsplash.

The classic craftsman entry opens to a majestic spiral staircase, and centered above it, a chandelier illuminates an octagonal cupola that casts a welcome glow to the sea, just 100' from your front door.

Ocean sunlight ripples through wall-to-wall windows and reflects on gleaming black-walnut floors. The beautifully engrained black walnut theme continues through the custom-built kitchen cabinetry, built-in china cabinet and desk with bookshelves, two hand-hewn fireplace mantels, arched doorway, solid walnut doors, and lentil moldings.

Large, open indoor spaces lead seamlessly throughout the living areas of the reverse floor plan. Upstairs features the living and dining area, epicurean kitchen, and sumptuous master suite with gas fireplace, balcony, and tub. Downstairs features a living area, a second ensuite master bedroom, two additional bedrooms, and laundry area.

Expansive windows offer sweeping ocean views and sparkling lights of the expansive Monterey Bay. Experience a daily display of sea life, from otters, seals, dolphins and humpback whales, from the luxury of this unique home.
