Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1979, the property features a remodeled kitchen and significant interior updates including hardwood flooring and modern lighting. While one bathroom shows slightly older glass-block styling, the overall home, exterior siding, and systems appear well-maintained and move-in ready.
Situated in the highly sought-after Rio Del Mar neighborhood, the property offers an enviable coastal lifestyle with close proximity to the beach and local amenities.
The home features a beautifully remodeled kitchen that serves as a contemporary focal point, designed for both high-end cooking and social gathering.
With 2,264 square feet of living space and an exceptionally large upstairs bedroom, the layout provides excellent flexibility for a home office, gym, or expansive primary suite.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Built in 1979, the property may require updates to original systems or secondary rooms to bring them up to the same modern standard as the remodeled kitchen.
The 5,793 square foot lot is relatively compact for the $1.999M price point, which may be a concern for buyers prioritizing significant outdoor acreage or privacy.
Theres a certain rhythm to life in Rio Del Mar. Mornings start slowly, weekends tend to find their way toward the beach, and home becomes the place you actually want to come back to. Tucked into one of Aptos most loved neighborhoods, 225 Florence Drive brings that lifestyle together with a private setting and spaces designed to be lived in. At the heart of the home, the remodeled kitchen creates an inviting place to cook, gather, and settle in at the end of the day. Comfortable living spaces flow naturally toward the backyard, where mature surroundings and a sense of privacy create your own retreat for morning coffee, long dinners outside, or quiet afternoons in the sun. Upstairs, an exceptionally spacious bedroom offers a retreat of its own, with the flexibility to serve as more than just a place to sleep. And then theres the location. Close to Rio Del Mar Beach and everything that makes Aptos such an easy place to love, Florence Drive offers the kind of neighborhood people hope to find and rarely want to leave. A home with room to settle in, a backyard that feels private, and the coastal lifestyle right outside your door.
