Description

Tucked away on a quiet street in the highly sought-after Rio Del Mar neighborhood, you'll find a beautiful and fully updated beach home. You must see this in person to appreciate the level of detail and care taken with this lovely property.

This single-level home is flooded with natural light. It has 3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms, newly interior designed kitchen and bathrooms, and an incredibly low-maintenance yard perfect for entertaining. The kitchen features fully custom cabinetry, quartzite counters, an integrated Liebherr refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, Bosch gas range, custom banquette with peeks of the ocean, and designer lighting. The bathrooms include marble, heated floors, custom cabinetry and designer lighting. The hardwood floors have all been refinished and the roof was recently redone, with a new addition of solar panels.

The backyard yard features a raised flagstone patio for dining and barbecuing. Next to the patio is a small lookout deck with stunning ocean views. Relax in the hot tub and take in all the beautiful, mature trees surrounding the property.

If you are looking for a delightful, single-level, turnkey home close to the beach, this is it!

    "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. "

    "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."
