Cozy Aptos home close to Aptos Village and Nisene Marks. This gem is nestled in the beautiful redwood trees of Aptos. Peaceful and quiet, with new carpet in the bedrooms and upstairs, with a new roof to top it all off. Outdoor space has a private deck to enjoy the river view while you relax, and a nice side-yard for gardening. Bonus room downstairs for guests or extra space. This home feels larger than the square footage measures. Master bedroom has a large walk in shower and relaxing jacuzzi tub for those long days. The open beam ceilings give an open feel, and the skylights offer lots of natural light. Extra storage below the deck and under the house. Great privacy! One neighbor to the right and no one to the left. Plenty of parking, close to beaches, schools, shopping and Hwy 1. Don't miss this one!
