Property Description
Nestled on a bright, level lot, this delightful home captures the essence of laid back coastal living. Bathed in sunshine and framed by mature greenery, it strikes the perfect balance between peaceful seclusion and easy access to everything Aptos has to offer. Step inside to an open, airy living area, with vaulted ceilings and natural light pouring through the large windows. The kitchen is bright and practical, with butcher block countertops and plenty of cabinet storage. A bedroom and full bath rounds out the main level, with 2 more bedrooms and a half bath upstairs. Outside, the choice is yours. Enjoy time on the sunny deck drinking your coffee or enjoy a peaceful stroll through the fenced in vegetable and flower garden. And don't forget about the location - you are minutes from sandy beaches, local stores and some of the best trails around at Nisene Marks State Park. In an area where hillside homes are the norm, you won't want to miss an opportunity to own a piece of flat, sunny paradise in Aptos.
