SANTA CRUZ CRAFTSMAN HOMES FOR SALE
Santa Cruz has some great Craftsman style homes and Victorian homes for sale, many located on the Westside of Santa Cruz and central Santa Cruz areas. I love Craftsman style homes and live in one myself that was built in 1920. You can't beat the feel of a craftsman style home, they just don't make them like that anymore.
Most Santa Cruz Craftsman style homes were built between 1900-1930. Some of the characteristics of Craftsman style homes are front porches with square or tapered columns, gabled roofs, decorative brackets, exposed rafters.
In the interior of a Santa Cruz Craftsman style home you will often find built-in cabinets, built in seating, hand-carved moldings and trim work, bay windows, wainscoting, hardwood floors, leaded windows, fireplaces, plaster walls.
Many newer homes use features of craftsman style homes to give them the 'old world' feel and a sense of elegance but they can never quite replicate the feel of an authentic Craftsman home, in my opinion.
Craftsman style homes for sale in Santa Cruz are available and are are a joy to own. When buying a craftsman style home or a home of some age, a buyer must understand what they are getting into. Older homes need work and lots of maintenance, there is just no getting around that. I have been in my craftsman home for 5 years and we are still working on it, but it is beautiful and a labor of love. When you have a home like that it becomes more than a home, almost a being unto itself.
