Imagine starting your morning with coffee in hand and the ocean just moments away. By afternoon, you're enjoying lunch at Mentone, grabbing a drink at The Hideout, or treating yourself to Marianne's Ice Cream before returning home to your own private retreat. Tucked into one of Aptos' most beloved neighborhoods, 243 North Avenue captures the coastal lifestyle that keeps people here for generations. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,080 square feet filled with warmth, character, and natural light. Vintage tile details, inviting living spaces, and timeless touches create a home that feels authentic and welcoming. The bonus room provides flexibility for a home office, art studio, fitness room, or personal retreat. Outside, a peaceful garden courtyard offers a private setting for outdoor dining, morning coffee, or relaxing beneath the trees. Seacliff State Beach, Aptos Village, Cat & Cloud Coffee, Mentone, Marianne's Ice Cream, and Nisene Marks State Park are all nearby. This is more than a home.
