About This Home

As of November 2022

Looking for stunning VIEWS and a KITCHEN that is truly the heartbeat of the home? This home offers SPECTACULAR Monterey Bay OCEAN views all the way to Pacific Grove from the front of the house and PANORAMIC views of the Aptos Hills and Valley Vistas from the back. A chefs kitchen is an understatement here - this KITCHEN is truly a custom COMMERCIAL kitchen. It was designed and built for a CHEF with commercial grade appliances and finishes including stainless steel countertops, Turbo Air refrigerator & freezer, 2 full-sized ovens, 6 burner range w/ a griddle, salamander, warming oven, a sit-up bar that could seat 12 people or more. If thats not enough - the home offers three bedrooms with three full baths (two bedrooms on GROUND LEVEL) and a detached STUDIO. The home is BRIGHT and OPEN throughout. The kitchen flows into a massive sitting area that opens out onto the expansive back deck offering true indoor/outdoor living. Homes like this are rare and this one is absolutely INCREDIBLE.
