Ocean views, exceptional walkability and more than 2,600 square feet come together in this beautifully maintained home just above Aptos Village. The Village is just a one-minute walk, with Nisene Marks nearby for hiking and mountain biking and Rio Del Mar Beach close enough for easy beach days. Built in 2009 and lovingly cared for by its original owner, the home feels private and relaxed while still being moments from New Leaf, Mentone, Cat & Cloud, Aptos St. BBQ, The Parish, boutique shopping, trails and the beach. Inside, soaring ceilings, bamboo hardwood floors and an open layout create a warm coastal feel. Ocean views from multiple rooms and both levels of expansive decking provide a beautiful backdrop for morning coffee, outdoor dining and entertaining. The large kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances and generous storage, while the spacious primary suite offers ocean views, a walk-in closet, dual sinks and a soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms, a private courtyard, finished two-car garage with attic storage, detached storage building, extensive hardscape, mature low-maintenance landscaping and a .20-acre lot complete this special Aptos property.
