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!

“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.”

“I had a real basket case of a property and from day one Seb Frey explained what needed to happen and that he would arrange and oversea the project. Which is exactly what happened. Seb is so computer savvy and has tools at his disposal I didn’t know existed. He was in contact with updates and suggestions so I never had to wonder what was happening. He is the best at what he does, I admire him and his professionalism. Diana Hanks”

Given that we were first-time homebuyers and looking for a particular type of property, we felt it was important to go with someone who knew their way around the Santa Cruz real estate market. We also appreciated that he was easy to work with, direct, and willing to answer all of our questions (which we had a lot of!). Now that we've been through it once, we especially appreciate his patience and insight navigating through some of the trickier moments. His support and guidance have been huge in us finding the perfect spot for us!”

“This was my first experience selling a home and Seb explained all the information and the process of selling our home very clearly. When I contacted Seb he was prompt in returning my phone call and I really appreciated that. When we actually met Seb he had a wealth of knowledge, spoke to us about strategies for selling our house at a Máximum price. He kept in constant communication via email, text and phone thru the selling process. We ended selling over asking price and was a smooth closing process. We highly recommend Seb as your realtor to sell or to buy!!”
