House Hunt: The Best Open Houses this Weekend

Three bedrooms and three baths with a canyon view is what you find at 143 Tosca Terrace for $769,000. It's a craftsman style home near the UCSC Wildlands and Moore Creek.

The house was built in 2006, has slate and hardwood floors and is a short walk to the UCSC Arboretum.

You can see for yourself Sunday from 1-4 p.m.

For $845,000 you can live in a blue house at 406 S. Branciforte Ave. that looks like it was blown here from Oz. It's a Victorian built in 1898 in East Santa Cruz with two floors, four bedrooms and two baths.

It is showing Sunday, 1-4p.m.

Back down to earth, there's a nifty little condo at 308 River St. for –get this–$244,000. It wasn't that long ago that there was nothing in this town for under $500,000. This one has been marked down from $330,000. It's got a full and partial bath and one bedroom.

Blue again: a Victorian for $599,000 at 1124 Broadway with two bedrooms and 1.5 baths. It's in the Seabright neighborhood with remodeled kitchens and baths. This is the first time it's been available in 30 years.

See for yourself Sunday 1-4 p.m.
