Tucked in the hills of Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley is a unique three story home waiting for a little bit of TLC. The foundation and framework are in good condition; a wonderful opportunity for someone to implement their design esthetic to truly make it their own. Built in 1987, this single-owner home sits on a 6 acre lot and has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Constructed in a reverse floor plan, the top entry level gives you the essence of a Lake Tahoe property with vaulted wood exposed ceilings, a loft area with a small bonus room attached, and large windows to view the beautiful surrounding trees. As you head down to the second floor, you will find all of the bedrooms with a master bedroom that includes an ensuite and reasonably sized closet. The third floor has a huge bonus room that could be the perfect playroom, game room, or whatever type of room you desire. Other features include accent fireplaces, private driveway, and enclosed garage. A lot of land and house for a fair price!
