Agent Remarks

The Willey House at 105 Sylvar Street in Santa Cruz, is a historically designated Victorian residence set behind a canopy of mature trees on Santa Cruzs historic Mission Plaza. This iconic property blends timeless Stick-Eastlake architecture with rich local heritage and enduring character. Originally built in 1887 for Henry Willey, the first president of Peoples Bank, this distinguished 3,698 square foot residence showcases unparalleled craftsmanship. Expertly constructed from locally harvested old-growth heart redwood, the 6-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom residence stands as a testament to enduring quality. Every corner of the home tells a story, from its intricate woodwork, detailed stained glass, and steeply pitched rooflines to the inviting wrap-around porch and period detailing throughout. Tall windows flood the interior with natural light, highlighting soaring, vaulted ceilings, original millwork, and elegant living spaces designed for both entertaining and everyday living. The home offers City Views and an excellent Walk Score, making it a highly convenient commute location. The property also features a legal detached ADU with a dedicated separate entrance and private yard space that currently generates substantial income, providing financial flexibility and additional value.
