Description

Filled with natural light from twelve clerestory windows, this thoughtfully updated home is just 500 feet from the bluff, close enough to hear and feel the ocean. Welcome to this inviting open concept mid-century bungalow nestled in the charming neighborhood of Rio Del Mar. Can you smell the sea air? The kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring granite countertops, extra-long breakfast bar, Thermador Gas Stove and Oven, & walk-in pantry. The great room is warmed by a cozy Gas Direct Vent Fireplace insert. The flooring is a mix of elegant maple hardwood with carpet in the bedrooms. The master bathroom has lovely sea-themed tile finishes, double sinks and an extra-large stall shower. Ample parking for 6 cars with a carport and double driveway. A dedicated inside laundry room offers convenience. Part of the garage was previously converted to a bonus room with a full bath and can easily be turned back into a 2 car garage.
Enjoy beautiful vistas on neighborhood walks. 10-minute walk to Rio del Mar Beach, Hidden Beach, and Platforms Beach. Close to Seascape, and Nicene Marks State Park is only 2 miles away.
Don't miss the opportunity to make this Aptos gem your own!

    "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.

    "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."
