Property Description
Tucked away in the redwoods near downtown Felton, the lovely veranda of this historical home peeks out from between the trees, a charming visage surrounded by the lush landscape. Built in 1865 and coined the Bennett House, high ceilings and hardwood floors welcome you as you step into the foyer. The bright living room has a cozy fireplace and french doors to the back deck. The kitchen is a perfect marriage of vintage charm and modern amenities. The dining room is fit for hosting guests for an elegant dinner. Two sizable bedrooms for housing guests or converting into an office, and a large primary bedroom with a built-in closet and french doors out to a private balcony. The 6-car horseshoe driveway, with plenty of space for oversized vehicles, leads to a single-car garage. Near downtown Felton for dining and shopping. Easy access to Hwy 9 for downtown Santa Cruz and beaches. Right across the street, Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park has hiking, biking, and scenic views.

ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
