You'll stop mid-sentence the first time you see the bay from inside. That's not a selling point, that's just what happens. Ear to ear ocean views, second row back from the bluff on one of Aptos' quietest streets. The home was built to make the most of where it sits, with oversized windows that bring the water into the room and two mostly private decks where you can sit in a spa and watch the sun do whatever it wants. Inside, a bonus room with a fireplace gives the home a warmth that the views alone can't account for. The kitchen has Cambria quartz countertops and new appliances. The two-car garage has epoxy floors and a skylight that makes it genuinely nice to walk into. There's a gated front entry, updated landscaping, and a separate entrance to the downstairs bedroom, bath, and family room that makes the layout work beautifully for guests or family who want their own space. Close to Rio Del Mar Beach, Seascape Golf Club, and the kind of neighborhood spots you end up at more often then you planned: Pixie Deli, Cat & Cloud, Venus, Akira Sushi. And then there's that view. Wire-free, unobstructed views from the shores of Rio Del Mar to East Cliff and everything in between.
