Theres a certain rhythm to life in Rio Del Mar. Mornings start slowly, weekends tend to find their way toward the beach, and home becomes the place you actually want to come back to. Tucked into one of Aptos most loved neighborhoods, 225 Florence Drive brings that lifestyle together with a private setting and spaces designed to be lived in.
At the heart of the home, the remodeled kitchen creates an inviting place to cook, gather, and settle in at the end of the day. Comfortable living spaces flow naturally toward the backyard, where mature surroundings and a sense of privacy create your own retreat for morning coffee, long dinners outside, or quiet afternoons in the sun.
Upstairs, an exceptionally spacious bedroom offers a retreat of its own, with the flexibility to serve as more than just a place to sleep.
And then theres the location. Close to Rio Del Mar Beach and everything that makes Aptos such an easy place to love, Florence Drive offers the kind of neighborhood people hope to find and rarely want to leave. A home with room to settle in, a backyard that feels private, and the coastal lifestyle right outside your door.
