Nestled among the redwoods, this cozy cabin carries all the rustic charm of vintage construction and the character & style of yesteryear. The huge custom grid-windows stretch nearly from floor to ceiling, letting in natural light, bringing the beauty of the forest into the home. Beautiful hand carved soapstone finishings highlight kitchen and bathroom sinks, counters and wood burning fireplace. Take in the peaceful backyard setting from the deck perched above the seasonal stream that runs along the rear of the property. A new flagstone path leads the way to the exterior workshop, underhome storage and firewood shed. This convenient location is just minutes away from all the shopping, restaurants and happenings of the new Aptos Village, world class biking and hiking trails of Nisene Marks State Park, nearby elementary school, commuting access to Highway 1, and less than two miles to the sand and surf of Aptos beaches. Ready to be enjoyed as-is, or come with vision of making it your own!
