About this Amazing Opportunity
Big and Juicy! Prime location in the middle of Live Oak, just minutes from everything you love in Santa Cruz County, and just down the street from Chanticleer Park. This newer single-level home features a flowing, open floor plan that everyone will love. The kitchen has been nicely upgraded with stone counters, tile backsplash, farmhouse sink, center island with a breakfast bar, and even a French-door oven! The primary suite is really a treat, with plenty of space and the en-suite bathroom is a notable delight, having been upgraded with a double stone-topped vanity, a claw-foot tub and tile shower. The star of the show is the pancake-flat 8,100+ square foot lot which is just dizzy with possibility. There's a nicely shaded wood deck and a concrete patio which provide abundant space for entertaining a crowd. Numerous fruit trees have been planted in the sunny open space, which may need to be relocated if you decide to add an ADU, which is a very attractive and real possibility!

He takes care of everything for you which relieved so much stress as a seller. If you're looking for someone you can trust to help you navigate this process, Seb is your guy, hands down.”

“We had a wonderful time working with Seb during the home buying process. He’s an incredible agent and exactly who you want representing you. He’s knowledgeable, determined and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. We appreciated how he always went the extra mile for us, filming video tours of homes when we weren’t immediately available to see them in person. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent. Thank you Seb!”

“Seb is a wonderful agent! Over the summer we found out that we had to sell my parents' house sooner than expected. Seb jumped in immediately and handled all aspects of the sale during a very busy time in our lives. The house sold in less than 3 weeks and we were very happy with the offer. When we're ready to sell our house, we'll be calling Seb.”

“It was a pleasure working with Seb to sell our condo in downtown San Jose. As first time home sellers, we didn’t know what to expect. Seb talked us through pivotal decisions related to getting the condo ready for market, pricing, waiting for offers, and the negotiations of offers. We appreciated his knowledge, tact, and humor. Further, it felt very much like a concierge service, where we did not have to deal with the minutia and were looped in for critical decisions. Looking forward to connecting again on our next real estate encounter.”

“Seb exceeded our expectations in both the selling of one property and the purchase of another. He was very focused on what was best for us. He is a modern realtor who is on top of the market, uses technology and local data to help make the best moves and decisions. I was pleasantly surprised about how responsive he was whether by texts, phone calls or emails. My biggest kudo however is how he kept us focused on our goals in our transactions. While it's easy to get distracted by all of the "shiny objects" that are a part of the business, he would steer us back to what we wanted to accomplish...and we did! We couldn't have had a better experience and are very glad to recommend Seb to anyone that wants excellence from a realtor.”

“Seb is an amazing real estate professional! He is truly passionate and knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the properties, agreements and rules and regulations... Recently, Seb saved me a big trouble with his valuable step-by-step guidance, whereas a real estate lawyer could have made the situation way more complicated and costly. I know many realtors, but Seb is the only one I would 100% trust and rely on.”

“Seb is an amazing realtor. During a really stressful time when we were trying to sell our old house out of state while buying a new house in Santa Cruz, he was there every step of the way, providing us with reminders which helped us ease our nerves and ensure we weren’t missing any crucial steps. Seb offers an honest perspective and will advise you whether or not to consider a property. Communication via text and email are great. He creates video walkthroughs, which were especially useful for us as much of our time was spent remotely searching for listings. It’s also worth mentioning that Seb knows a lot of contractors and is willing to share his expertise about the area. We searched around Aptos and Scotts Valley but ultimately decided on a beautiful, affordable condo near the beach in Santa Cruz, right next to our preferred school and convenient to shops and a decent work commute. Thanks Seb, you are highly appreciated and we look forward to working with you again should we decide to relocate.”
