Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1952, the home features an artistic remodel that is now significantly dated. While the kitchen includes newer stainless steel appliances, the dark wood cabinetry, custom tile counters, and fluorescent ceiling light boxes suggest the primary renovation occurred over 20 years ago. The exterior wood shingles show heavy weathering, and the interior requires updates to systems and finishes to meet modern standards.
Remodeled by a stained glass artist, this Craftsman-inspired home features one-of-a-kind details including custom stained glass windows, arched wood trims, and an antique oak fireplace surround.
The property offers a tranquil setting along Aptos Creek while remaining within walking distance to Rio Del Mar and Seacliff Beach, providing a rare blend of nature and coastal lifestyle.
With 2,226 sq. ft. of living space and four bedrooms, the home provides ample room for families, complemented by modern upgrades like water-resistant laminate floors and high-end kitchen appliances.
The 5,052 sq. ft. lot is relatively compact for a four-bedroom residence, which may limit outdoor recreational space and privacy for some buyers.
A recent price reduction from the original $1.6M list price suggests initial market resistance, which can sometimes lead to extended days on market and increased buyer scrutiny.
