About This Home

As of March 2020

Situated on a hilltop within the private and quiet Seascape Uplands gated community, this beautiful well-maintained home with quality finishes lives like a single level with the master bedroom, bath and laundry on the ground level. The gourmet kitchen has custom cherry-wood cabinetry, double oven, gas range, and delightful breakfast nook overlooking the forest preserve. Enjoy your coffee on the sunny deck off the kitchen with views of the trees, or on the front porch with a view of the ocean. Relax in the family room with a wood burning fireplace, surround sound, and vaulted ceilings. Designer paint throughout the home gives that luxurious yet casual feeling. The upstairs bedrooms and additional family room provide maximum living and work space for crafts projects, storage, or workouts. The bedroom and the open loft at the top of the stairs have views of the ocean. You will be within walking distance to the beach and Seascape Resort, and an easy drive to the new Aptos Village.
