Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1963 but well-maintained with significant updates. The kitchen and bathrooms have been remodeled with granite countertops, tile backsplashes, and LVP flooring. While the home is over 50 years old, the interior finishes, fresh paint, and move-in ready condition align with a 5-15 year renovation cycle, making it functional and modern enough for immediate occupancy.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7013, living area = 1407.
The property features a private, sun-drenched courtyard and wraparound deck protected by a stylish privacy wall, creating an expansive alfresco sanctuary that doubles the usable living space.
The home boasts significant interior upgrades, including a remodeled granite kitchen, updated bathrooms, hardwood flooring, and fresh paint, offering a move-in-ready experience for buyers.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1407, other record living area = 1350.
At 1,407 square feet, the interior living space is relatively compact for the $1.349M price point, which may be a constraint for growing families or those requiring a dedicated home office.
While the interior is beautifully updated, the 1963 construction date suggests that original systems or structural elements may require ongoing maintenance compared to newer builds.
Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in desirable Rolling Green Estates, this enchanting single-level California Mediterranean retreat delivers rare privacy and indoor-outdoor flow that feels worlds away - yet minutes to everything. Behind a stylish privacy wall, a generous sun-drenched courtyard and wraparound deck become an extension of the home itself: an inviting alfresco sanctuary for morning coffee, family play, or evening gatherings. Inside, the open, airy layout shines with thoughtful updates: a remodeled kitchen featuring granite counters, tile backsplash, new sink and oven; an updated bath with granite and LVP flooring; plus hardwood floors, plantation shutters, fresh paint, and carpet. 2-car garage, bonus shed and extra driveway for boat or trailer. Nearby Aptos Village, New Leaf Market, and Nisene Marks State Park for hiking and biking adventures in the redwoods. Homes blending this level of privacy, character, single-level ease, and unbeatable location are rarely available.
