About This Home

As of August 2023

It's time for the beach house you deserve! Start living the lifestyle you've always wanted, and there's no better place to begin than the upper cliffs of Rio del Mar. Imagine a short walk to the best beach in Santa Cruz County, sipping a glass of wine on one of your large private decks, or a friendly chat with passing neighbors from your sunny front porch. You'll also enjoy sunlit days in your oversized, elegantly landscaped backyard. You may try gardening; relaxing with a good book in your cozy greenhouse; or just unwinding under the stars while soaking in your hot tub. And if the fog rolls in, curl up near your fireplace, or cook a warm meal in your beautifully remodeled kitchen. You'll love the feel of the open floor plan with beamed ceilings and plenty of natural light. Enjoy the great separation of space: three bedrooms and full bath downstairs, and kitchen, living space, and primary bed & bath upstairs. Don't wait; start living the beach life today!
