About This Home
As of March 2026Filled with natural light from twelve clerestory windows, this thoughtfully updated home is just 500 feet from the bluff, close enough to hear and feel the ocean. Welcome to this inviting open concept mid-century bungalow nestled in the charming neighborhood of Rio Del Mar. Can you smell the sea air? The kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring granite countertops, extra-long breakfast bar, Thermador Gas Stove and Oven, & walk-in pantry. The great room is warmed by a cozy Gas Direct Vent Fireplace insert. The flooring is a mix of elegant maple hardwood with carpet in the bedrooms. The master bathroom has lovely sea-themed tile finishes, double sinks and an extra-large stall shower. Ample parking for 6 cars with a carport and double driveway. A dedicated inside laundry room offers convenience. Part of the garage was previously converted to a bonus room with a full bath and can easily be turned back into a 2 car garage. Enjoy beautiful vistas on neighborhood walks. 10-minute walk to Rio del Mar Beach, Hidden Beach, and Platforms Beach. Close to Seascape, and Nicene Marks State Park is only 2 miles away. Don't miss the opportunity to make this Aptos gem your own!
