Stunning ocean views, privacy and a connection to nature define this exceptional property. Thacher & Thompson Architects designed this custom home to harmonize with its surroundings, showcasing breathtaking ocean views from nearly every room. The private road, gated entry and surrounding oak and redwood trees create a private, serene retreat with almost daily sightings of wildlife. Despite feeling so far away, the home is only 3 minutes from Aptos Village and 6 minutes from the beach, offering easy access to restaurants, shopping and the coast. The home itself feels warm and inviting, though refined at the same time. The beautifully designed courtyard and dramatic 2 story entry set the tone for the home. Spacious rooms, high quality materials and expansive windows are found throughout. The thoughtfully designed floorplan features a library, family room, two decks and two ensuite bedrooms on the main level. Upstairs the almost 900 sf primary suite boasts a private sunroom, generous bathroom with 2 walk-in closets, an oversized tub and shower, all highlighting the ocean view. Additional amenities include a finished 3 car garage, plenty of space for guest parking and a generator. This home has been treasured by two families since it was built and is ready to become your sanctuary
