Rare opportunities like this are exceptionally limited in the Aptos Village. Designed for entrepreneurs, creatives, and buyers seeking a truly versatile lifestyle, this unique Live-Work residence features a street-level commercial space with retail-style entrance, creating a unique opportunity for business use, studio space, client-facing work, or a highly functional home office. The Live-Work space has big windows for signage and an accessible half bathroom for client/customer use. Upstairs are two bedroom suites and laundry. The main primary bedroom is oversized with a sitting area, balcony, gas fireplace, and large walk-in closet. Located just steps from local dining, shopping, and direct access to The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park, with over 30 miles of hiking and biking trails, this home also includes secure parking in a spacious 2 car attached garage, energy-efficient systems, and the long-term value of rare new construction in Santa Cruz County. With only three live-work units available in the entire community, this is a rare chance to secure one of Aptos Villages most flexible and distinctive ownership opportunities before it is gone.
