About This Home
As of October 2025Nestled back from Freedom Road down a long paved driveway, this home offers a sense of privacy. Bathed in natural light and framed by mountain vistas, this single-level 2,405 sq. ft. residence offers spacious living, flexibility, and coastal convenience. Designed with four bedrooms, three full baths, an office, and inside laundry, the home balances comfort and function. A seamless attached addition flows with the main house and works beautifully as a TV lounge, playroom, game room, or deluxe primary suite. It can also be closed off as a complete in-law unit or rental with private entrance, kitchen, living room, bedroom with walk-in closet, full bath, and private deck. At the heart of the home, a private courtyard with gazebo and built-in seating opens to wraparound decking for indoor-outdoor living. The 14,593 sq. ft. lot features mature landscaping, fruit trees, and flat space below the home, ideal for a garden, orchard, or sports court. Additional highlights include a detached three-car garage with breezeway, solar, in-garage EV charger, wood-burning stove, hardwood floors, skylights, floor-to-ceiling windows, indoor and outdoor speakers, and solid-core natural wood doors. Minutes to Aptos High, Aptos Village, local beaches, Watsonville Airport, and convenient commute routes.
