Enjoy a comfortable coastal lifestyle from this recently updated, approximately 1,000-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment at 8046 Soquel Drive, in the heart of Aptos Village. Set on the second floor of a historic building with its own private entrance on a side walkway, the apartment offers generous living space, modern finishes, views of the trees, and a central location that makes daily errands, dining and commuting remarkably convenient.
Inside, the spacious bedroom includes both a walk-in closet and a second bedroom closet. The light-filled sunroom-style living area features large windows overlooking redwoods and trees without any neighbors to the south, a warm wood ceiling and exposed beams, creating an inviting place to relax or read. A separate dining area provides additional flexibility for entertaining or everyday use.
The recently updated kitchen includes abundant cabinetry, black countertops, a breakfast bar, stainless-steel refrigerator, gas range and oven, dishwasher, and an in-unit stacked Bosch washer and dryer. The renovated bathroom features a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with rainfall and handheld fixtures, built-in seating, a vessel sink, a long vanity and substantial storage.
Aptos Village offers the convenience of a pedestrian-friendly downtown with local dining, coffee, groceries and shops. Nearby options include Cat & Cloud Coffee, New Leaf Community Market, Mentone and Aptos St. BBQ, making it easy to pick up coffee, groceries or dinner without traveling far.
For commuting and recreation, Aptos Village sits just north of Highway 1, between the Rio Del Mar Boulevard and State Park Drive interchanges. The location also provides convenient access to Seacliff State Beach, Rio Del Mar State Beach and is walking distance into the redwood trails of The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park.
Although centrally located, the apartment is quiet at night with no neighbors above or below. There is no assigned on-site parking, but public parking is available throughout the surrounding neighborhood, and previous tenants have reported no difficulty finding nearby daily and overnight spaces.
