Set on a sunny Aptos hilltop behind a beautiful gated entry, this light-filled Craftsman home offers ocean views and over 3,000 sq ft of flexible living space. Inside, you will find soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, and custom cabinetry throughout, creating warmth and character. The great room flows into the chefs kitchen, where top-of-the-line stainless appliances make both everyday meals and entertaining a joy. Three spacious bedrooms with en-suite baths plus a large sitting room provide space for everyone--family, guests, or a home office. A bright bonus room off the garage adds even more options, perfect for a studio, gym, or workshop. Outdoors, a full acre of fenced, gated privacy invites you to relax and gather--with ample parking, entertaining is easy! Plant a garden, host summer dinners, or head straight to the nearby trails. Best of all, you're just 1.5 miles from the beach and minutes to shops and freeway access. This is a rare retreat with the perfect blend of coastal living with everyday comfort.
