When you finally find the perfect family home in a desirable, centrally-located neighborhood AND in a stellar school district, it's a sign. So, consider this gorgeous Aptos home your signal. You're less than a mile from Cabrillo College, New Brighton School, Santa Cruz Montessori, & New Brighton State Beach. Willowbrook Park is across the street, which features basketball & tennis courts. Inside, you'll enjoy the separation of living space. The entire main floor is devoted to entertaining, with a big living room, gorgeous kitchen, & a large deck that opens to a low-maintenance yard. Four spacious bedrooms, all with vaulted ceilings, give the whole family plenty of room upstairs. And - surprise- you also have a downstairs! The freshly renovated 600+ SF studio, with a separate entrance, is on the ground floor - it's the perfect office, primary suite, or rental that could fetch $2,000+/month. If you've seen this home before, you'll have to give it another look!
