About This Home

As of September 2017

Walk 2/10th's of a mile to the shops and restaurants in the new Aptos Village. Only another 1 mile to the beach! Very close to town, but removed from the "busyness" of town. This peaceful setting among the lush redwoods literally backs up to Nisene Marks State Park. Enjoy hiking and biking out your back door, or just relax on your large private sunny deck. Maybe play horseshoes or lounge on a hammock in your flat sunny backyard. Fresh paint inside and out, with a new kitchen and new bath. Lots of natural light, wood floors, open-beam wood ceilings, and a wood burning stove. Spend your evenings BBQing or stargazing into the open sky on your quiet and secluded deck. No trees hovering over this home, and no noise to distract, except for the occasional trinkling of the seasonal creek in the distance. There's plenty of parking, plenty of fresh air, and plenty of space on this nearly 16,000 sq ft lot. All in a great commuter location. Come home and unwind in your own private oasis.
