    Stained vertical pine interiorsHorizontal exterior wood sidingDimensional framing lumberHardwood floors
    Equity Builder! Best Value in Aptos at only $468 per square foot, especially compared to County median of over $800 a square foot! Truly your own private paradise just minutes to beach, quaint Aptos Village with restaurants, New Leaf Market and shopping, not to mention incredible state parks, all within a few minute drive, bike or walk. If you're tired of the cookie cutter faire that's out there, especially at this price point, this property may be just what you have been seeking... Set on a sunny, level 1/3 acre this charming approximately 1700 square foot country home harkens back to a simpler time, and the neighbors still know and look after one another. Horizontal exterior wood siding, hardwood floors and stained vertical pine interiors, dimensional framing lumber. It's all there. The foundation has been completely redone with permits and some electrical upgraded. The separate living and family rooms, kitchen, 2 bedrooms and full bath are all at the entry level. One bedroom, a bonus room and half bath are located upstairs. Truly a great value with upside potential.
