Aptos, California 95003
This Coastal Income-Generating Retreat is listed at $1,750,000, reflecting a premium for its proximity to Hidden Beach and the Seascape Resort. While the $1,510,612 Fair Market Value indicates a higher entry point, the property’s sweeping ocean views, soaring vaulted ceilings, and separate entrance for the fourth bedroom justify its status as a high-demand asset. Currently holding a Condition Rating of 4, the home is well-maintained but offers room for value-add cosmetic updates. It is an ideal acquisition for lifestyle-oriented buyers or vacation rental investors seeking a versatile beachside sanctuary.

Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1963, this property is well-maintained but shows signs of aging. While it features functional upgrades like double-pane windows and central forced-air heating, the interior finishes—specifically the tiled bathroom countertops and cabinetry—appear to be from a renovation older than 20 years. It is move-in ready but dated, fitting the criteria for minor cosmetic updates.
Situated just steps from Hidden Beach and scenic coastal paths, this property offers an ideal beachside lifestyle with immediate access to pristine sands, local dining, and the Seascape Resort.
The floor plan includes a separate fourth bedroom with a private entrance and potential to add a bathroom, making it an excellent candidate for a high-performing vacation rental or a private guest suite.
The home features soaring vaulted ceilings, an open-concept layout, and expansive sunny decks that maximize sweeping ocean views, creating a bright and airy atmosphere for entertaining.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
With a lot size of only 3,092 square feet for an 1,860 square foot home, the outdoor yard space is relatively constrained, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking significant private land.
The property has undergone two significant price reductions since its initial listing, suggesting that the original valuation was not aligned with market expectations or that there is lingering buyer hesitation.
