About this House

This cool two-story home is located on Center Avenue off of State Park Drive, in the serene Seacliff neighborhood. The beach, as well as local restaurants and shops are just a short walk. Catch some rays on the upstairs patio deck with a peek of the ocean!

The house has three bedrooms on the second floor, all equipped with ceiling fans and remotes. The front two bedrooms have sliding glass doors which open to an upstairs patio deck, to let in the views and the breeze! The deluxe kitchen features stainless matching appliances, new cabinetry with pull-out shelving and a sizable pantry.

The laundry is equipped with extra large capacity side-loading, separate washer and dryer, not one of those tiny combo things.

The property has a very large private yard, ideal for outdoor barbeques or just relaxing.

Utility costs are low, provided by LED lighting throughout the house, dual pane windows, and high efficiency central heat and air.

NOTE: Property pictures show furniture. Property is currently being marketed as unfurnished.

**Water, garbage and Xfinity are included**

Pets are okay!

This idyllic, furnished beach house is located just three short blocks from Seacliff beach and the historic Cement Boat. The house was remodeled about four years ago. We upgraded everything! The house is equipped with central heat, and all bedrooms have large ceiling fans with LED lights and remote controls. The kitchen is a cook's delight with a newer stainless appliance suite, gas range, Zodiaq counters and tons of cabinet space with pull-out shelving. The laundry features a jumbo sized side-loading washer and gas dryer. The front two bedrooms have patio doors which open on to a huge upper deck, with wide views of the beautiful neighborhood and a small slice of the ocean!

Water, sewer and garbage services, as well as Xfinity high speed internet and basic cable service, are included. This is a unique, wonderful opportunity, and won't last long.

Soothe your soul with a relaxing and serene beach vibe, and feel the cooling ocean breeze, while living in a beautiful neighborhood which is great for walks at anytime of the day.

    "I use the Highway which is close to my neighborhood. Outside of that, the county bus system is the only public transit. The commute traffic is bad. Aptos is bikeable around the highway but there are many tight roads and can be hilly. "

    "The area is beautiful and prolific for plants. Neighbors are friendly, there’s easy access to Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur. Nearby development has been blossoming with new businesses opening. Quick access to the beach and close proximity to Niscene Marks make this the perfect combo of ocean meets forest. "

    "I have lived in this neighborhood 15 years and it’s been great. The large pine trees that still remain in Rio Del Mar are because of Mr Spreckels and that this land was his private hunting ground. He preserved the land as best as he could for future generations."
