About This Home

As of September 2025

This heavy fixer, situated just minutes from Rio Del Mar and Seacliff Beaches, Cabrillo College and the villages of Aptos and Seacliff, offers a unique opportunity for contractors, developers and ambitious renovators. Set on a steep slope next to Hwy 1, this home has seen better days. It is currently boarded up and uninhabitable, with a graffiti-covered interior, missing walls and significant structural and septic concerns. The reverse floor plan places the kitchen, dining area, living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper level, while the lower level, likely a former garage, appears to have been converted into additional living space. This is not for the faint of heart. The home requires extensive rehabilitation and due to its condition, financing will likely require all cash or a hard money loan. If you're looking for a true project with upside potential in a prime coastal area, this could be the challenge for you!
