Description

Come home to Aptos! Here's a rare find: a well kept and tidy single level home on a generous lot in one of Santa Cruz County's most sought-after coastal communities. The house is bright and cheery with ample setback from the neighbors and is a wonderful place to call home...but the real story here is the lot. At nearly a quarter acre, it's more than double what you'll find on most newer subdivided parcels in the area, giving you room to garden, expand, add outdoor living space, or explore future...Come home to Aptos! Here's a rare find: a well kept and tidy single level home on a generous lot in one of Santa Cruz County's most sought-after coastal communities. The house is bright and cheery with ample setback from the neighbors and is a wonderful place to call home...but the real story here is the lot. At nearly a quarter acre, it's more than double what you'll find on most newer subdivided parcels in the area, giving you room to garden, expand, add outdoor living space, or explore future possibilities like an ADU. Location is where Aptos consistently delivers. You're minutes from Nisene Marks State Park for hiking and redwood trails, and not far from Rio Del Mar and Seacliff State Beach, some of the most scenic coastline in the county. Soquel Drive offers walkable shops, cafes, and restaurants, giving the area a real sense of community without sacrificing the quiet, established feel of the neighborhood. Highway 1 access keeps commuting manageable, which continues to draw buyers looking for coastal living without giving that up. AJ's Market is a short walk, and a longer stretch will take you right down to New Brighton Beach. This is an unbeatable value and won't be on the market long!
