Discover an exceptional home where contemporary design meets natural beauty in prestigious Aptos. This architectural gem showcases dramatic exposed beam vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and an extraordinary multi-level deck system built seamlessly into towering mature trees.
The heart of the home features a stunning open-concept living space crowned by soaring wood beam ceilings that create an impressive cathedral-like atmosphere. Hardwood floors flow throughout the main living areas, complementing the kitchen and modern appliances. The thoughtfully designed layout connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen, with contemporary lighting fixtures and clean lines that emphasize the home's architectural sophistication.
The kitchen offers ample counter space and stainless-steel appliances for both everyday living and entertaining. Large windows throughout fill the interior with natural light while providing glimpses of the lush forest setting that surrounds this remarkable property.
What truly sets this home apart is its extraordinary outdoor living space. Multiple levels of professionally constructed decking wind through mature redwood and oak trees, creating an elevated forest retreat unlike anything else available. The private hot tub is perfectly positioned within this tree-canopy setting, offering a serene spa experience surrounded by nature's cathedral. Each deck level provides different vantage points and intimate spaces for relaxation or entertaining, all connected by well-designed pathways and stairs.
The property sits on a quiet cul-de-sac just minutes from Seascape Golf Club, offering both privacy and convenient access to Aptos Village shopping and the stunning beaches of Rio Del Mar and Seacliff. The mature landscaping and towering trees create a sense of living in a private forest preserve while maintaining easy access to all coastal amenities.
The home includes three full bathrooms, in-unit laundry, storage including a walk-in pantry, and a spacious garage with additional parking. The dramatic interior spaces and extraordinary outdoor deck system create a living experience that few properties can match.
