Is it your time to live in an elegant, comfortable ocean-view home in an exclusive gated community? Situated on a ridge with panoramic views yet walking distance to Seascape Resort, shopping, restaurants, schools and the beach. You can wake up each morning to the sun shining in your bedroom and in the evening, you can relax on your large deck watching the amazing sunsets over the ocean. Enjoy the moon rising over the hills and the twinkling lights of Capitola and Santa Cruz at night. The reverse floor plan maximizes the 24/7 vistas while providing single-level living with kitchen, living and dining areas, and primary bedroom on the upper floor. Remodeled in 2015, the centerpiece of the home is the kitchen with its 12' island with seating for six, pendant lighting, and lots of prep space including a butler's pantry and dumbwaiter. More living space on the ground floor with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, office and family room with its own wet bar and refrigerator. Wide plank wood floors, natural stone counters, three gas fireplaces, recessed LED lighting, built-in Sonos speakers, and wine refrigerator exemplify casual elegance. The three-car garage provides plenty of room for autos, bicycles or additional storage. It is time to enjoy the coastal lifestyle at its finest.
