About This Home

As of August 2020

Ocean views from Moss Landing to Capitola! It's the highest point on Cuesta Drive, so you get the best views and spectacular sunsets (owner gave me 33 sunset photos and all the colors are different) The Breathtaking views never cease to soothe the owner's soul! Sitting on the expansive deck enjoying your morning coffee or your evening glass of your favorite drink, will be a relaxing retreat. The beautifully remodeled kitchen w/ granite counters opens to the dining and living room and those amazing views!! This home has been remodeled from top to bottom! The front of the house is a garden oasis and has been extensively landscaped and hardscaped including a tranquil water fall. It's so peaceful and you will want to sit and read while listening to the birds sing! Even an amazing ocean view from the garage! The over 15,000 square foot lot is sloping but usable. Although you are in a neighborhood, this home is quiet and feels so private. 3rd bedroom has to be walked thru.
