This unique Aptos property has potential to become a beautiful private retreat, surrounded by quiet forest, peaceful views, and secluded privacy. Lots of natural lighting warm the south side of this home. Spacious rooms, some vaulted ceilings, dual decks and bonus living space give you a great canvas to work from. Large garage and workshop space, shared driveway and well. Not a small project though, this home needs a complete refresh, top to bottom, and needs somebody with vision and means to restore it to it to the private retreat it was meant to be. 8-10 minutes to Aptos Village and just steps away from Nisene Marks Park Property.
