Wonderful Aptos property within walking distance of Aptos Village shops and restaurants. Endless opportunities for hiking and biking in Nisene Marks State Park are a mile from your front door. This 4-bedroom, 2-full-bath home has been lovingly cared for and features an updated kitchen with stainless appliances and a live-edge eat-at bar, a separate family room, and new carpet in the bedrooms. The large, peaceful backyard feels wonderfully private, with no neighbors directly behind the property. A huge patio provides plenty of room to relax and entertain, with a poured-concrete area ready for a hot tub. A separate guest unit or she-shed, not included in the home's square footage, offers flexible space for hobbies, a home office, or whatever you need. Located in a neighborhood long loved by generations of Aptos families, this home offers a relaxed setting close to everything, along with numerous thoughtful upgrades including a newer furnace, fully encapsulated crawl space and a brand-new septic system.
