About This Home

As of July 2025

Located in the heart of one of Aptos' most beloved beachside neighborhoods, 227 Center Ave offers the best of everyday coastal living with a relaxed, ready-for-anything vibe. Just a few blocks from the sand at Seacliff State Beach and moments from neighborhood favorites like Manuels, Mariannes, Pizza My Heart, and Sno-White Drive-In, you're never far from your next taco, cone, or sunset stroll. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features 1,464 square feet of thoughtfully updated space, including new flooring, a refreshed kitchen and baths, and plenty of natural light throughout. The floor plan balances comfort and function, with distinct living and dining areas downstairs and all bedrooms upstairs for a sense of retreat. Step outside to a private backyard - perfect for unwinding after a surf session, hosting casual get-togethers, or cultivating your garden dreams. A one-car garage and additional storage shed provide ample room for your beach gear, boards, and more. Just minutes from Aptos Village, Nisene Marks trailheads, and convenient freeway access, this home blends the laid-back charm of Seacliff with everyday practicality. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a weekend escape, 227 Center puts you right where you want to be.
