A wall of windows greets your guests as they arrive at your classic midcentury beach house. Inside, exposed beams draw your eyes to the wood-paneled ceiling & a matching wall of windows at the other end, looking out on a spacious yard bordered by colorful trees. A cozy fireplace in a brick hearth warms the open, inviting space, w/a living room flowing seamlessly to a dining area & bright white kitchen anchored in the center of the space, perfect for entertaining. The two bedrooms continue the wood-paneled ceiling theme, wood paneling, & exposed brick walls, lending the rooms a cottage/cabin vibe that will make you feel you're on a perpetual vacation, even if you live in these rooms every day. A bathroom w/a shower, mud room w/storage space, & additional family room complete the single floor plan layout. The low-maintenance yard leaves plenty of time for nearby distractions in Aptos and Rio del Mar, including golf, tennis, beaches, restaurants, coffee shops, and hiking trails.
