2955 Pleasure Point Dr, Santa Cruz

Experience the epitome of coastal luxury at 2955 Pleasure Point Drive—an architectural gem just steps from one of California’s most iconic surf breaks. Reimagined by the renowned FUSE Architects, this contemporary retreat blends elevated design, state-of-the-art features, and indoor-outdoor living into a serene sanctuary by the sea.

Every detail has been curated with intention and artistry, with no cost spared. At the heart of the home lies a stunning chef’s kitchen, equipped with Neolith countertops, custom cabinetry with smart storage solutions, and a hidden temperature-controlled wine pantry. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the professional-grade 30,000 BTU Hestan range and griddle designed by French Laundry’s Thomas Keller. 

The expansive open-concept living space is grounded in hand-plained white oak detailing and warmed by radiant Warmboard heating throughout. A 16-foot sliding glass door creates a seamless transition to the meticulously designed backyard oasis. Entertain in style with a Mosso Bamboo built-in outdoor kitchen with Hestan grill, custom gas firepit, and over $300,000 in designer landscaping by Alison Hobbs featuring drought-tolerant plants, lemon and apple trees, custom concrete planters, drip irrigation throughout and synthetic turf perfect for outdoor games or sun bathing. 

Featuring four spacious bedrooms with three elegant ensuite bedrooms, including a flexible ground-floor suite perfect for guests,  or future ADU potential. The downstairs primary bath offers a spa-like retreat with a full-length MTI soaking tub positioned beside a modern fireplace and direct access outside where a cold plunge or yoga area could be imagined—an indulgent place to unwind after a day on the waves. Wake up to an oceanview in the upstairs primary bedroom which is equipped with a hotel like closet system and a custom bathroom with LED lit vanity mirrors, soaking tub and stall shower with SureCrete walls and floor-to-ceiling porcelain tile from Porcelonosa. 

This smart home is packed with premium upgrades, including radiant warmboard heating throughout, a standing seam aluminum roof, soundproof insulation, Lutron smart lighting, EV charging, surf shack storage, an attached two car garage with high ceilings and LiftMaster openers, and a marine-grade gated entry offering both privacy and security. French drainage system surrounds the house with 6 inch perforated pipe system with all downspouts draining to system.  

Rarely does a home combine location, craftsmanship, and lifestyle so effortlessly. Whether you’re catching the sunrise on your morning walk on East Cliff Drive, paddling out to surf world-class breaks, or hosting sunset gatherings in your private backyard retreat, 2955 Pleasure Point Drive is more than a home—it’s a way of life.
