About this home

From the moment you step inside, the home has a warmth that is difficult to put into words. It feels familiar, comforting, and genuinely welcoming, with the kind of character that cannot simply be recreated. Vaulted open beam ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors, and walls of built in bookshelves give the living spaces a collected, timeless quality. Sunlight moves through the home, while French doors open to beautifully landscaped gardens and quiet outdoor spaces that feel private and peaceful. The kitchen offers generous cabinetry and workspace, with natural light pouring in from above. There is plenty of opportunity to bring a fresh vision to the interiors, but the most important parts are already here: beautiful architectural details, an inviting layout, established gardens, and an unmistakable sense of home. Set within one of Aptos's most desirable coastal neighborhoods, with Hidden Beach, coastal trails, Rio Del Mar, and Seascape nearby, this is a home with soul, ready for its next chapter.
