Wake to sunrises over Monterey Bay so stunning the current owner admits the first one brought her to tears. In the Aptos hills less than five minutes above the village, this 3 bed, 2.5 bath home on 1.36 acres pairs sweeping ocean and mountain views with sunshine above the fog line and a reliable ocean breeze that cools the house each evening. High open beam ceilings and a dramatic stone fireplace give the living room a Tahoe chalet feel, while the kitchen flows to the deck for sunset dinners under the redwoods. Upstairs, a cozy ocean view den is made for movie nights and gorgeous sunsets. Terraced gardens draw hummingbirds daily and monarchs every migration season, and owls call from the redwood grove at night. It is as practical as it is beautiful. Owned solar with a $0 NEM true up since 2021, new propane furnace and on demand hot water, whole house generator with transfer switch, new electrical panel, fresh interior and exterior paint, and Moen Flo leak detection. On the same power grid as police and fire, so outages are rare and brief. Detached two car garage plus parking for five and RV space. Ten minutes to the beach and Seascape golf, with legendary cycling routes out the front door. A rare offering on a road where homes are held for generations and seldom come to market.
