This home really is the best buy in Aptos w/incredible upside potential! Just a short drive (3.4 miles) from the new Aptos Village. Nicene Marks park & Rio Del Mar beach are nearby. From Larsen Rd, follow a curved driveway past the 3 car carport & around to the paved parking area. Beautiful mature palm & banana trees draw the eye up toward a privacy shield of more trees that surround this sunny, serene, oasis. The lovely home is designed around a great room that includes the kitchen, dining, & family rooms, a pantry, & an updated 1/2 bath. A wall of windows brings the outside in, shining wood floors, a cozy wood stove w/a river rock hearth, & incredibly high ceilings serve to make this room the gathering place! There are 3 bedrooms & an updated bath down a short flight of stairs. The master bedroom/bath has a separate entrance. A large deck runs along the wall of windows & allows for outdoor living & views of the extra spacious garden/play area. There is something for everyone here!
