Awesome location for this two bedroom one bath townhouse in the Seacliff area of Aptos. This quaint beach community offers many fun activities such as Manuel's Mexican Restaurant, Marianne's Ice Cream, and long walks along beautiful Seacliff State Beach. It is only a twenty minute walk to Beach Gate stairs (1/2 mile) which lead you down to the sand. This great townhouse offers the unusual bonus of a single car garage to store your beach cruisers and surfboards. It also affords some outdoor space with a front court yard and a moderately-sized rear backyard. It is the third unit from end away from the freeway. Original condition, with newly painted interior walls.
