617 Beach Drive, APTOS, CA 95003 (MLS # ML82017831)
|
This charming coastal retreat offers sweeping Monterey Bay views from the kitchen, living room, and all 4 bedrooms. Located securely behind the gate in the Rio Surf & Sands community, the setting is unmatched. The great room showcases open-beam ceilings and a wall of glass that opens to the deck for effortless indoor/outdoor living. Kitchen, living, and dining flow together for easy entertaining and everyday comfort, and the floor plan provides excellent separation of space across three levels. Approximately 2,000 sq ft of living space plus a rare 3-car garage means plenty of parking and room for boards, bikes and beach gear. Positioned along the gentle hillside, the property, per seller, sustained no notable damage during the storm surges of the last two winters. From here you are minutes to Seacliff State Beach, Seascape Golf Course, and world-class hiking and mountain biking in The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park. Close to surf breaks, coffee, shopping, and dining - this isn't just a beach house - it is a launchpad for your Aptos lifestyle. Enjoyed by this family for over 30 years and surrounded by exquisite custom homes, the value and upside potential at this Beach Drive address are exceptional.
