About 411 Hillcrest
A stucco exterior, tile work detail, and a silhouette of steps give this 2-story beach getaway a Mediterranean flair. Glass blocks echo the entryway design over the front door, leading to an atrium entryway. A reverse floor plan takes full advantage of ocean views over the surrounding rooftops. The open living/dining space features a carpeted, octagonal living room with a gas fireplace, wet bar, skylights, built-in cabinets, and track lighting. A spacious kitchen has its own skylight, plenty of cabinet space, a punch-out window over the double sink, and a charming breakfast booth. A half-bath completes the layout.
A door between the kitchen and living room opens to a deck with views and plenty of room for relaxing and entertaining. Across from the living room, sliding doors open to another deck, with slate tilework and a spiral staircase leading up to a rooftop with its own uninterrupted views of the ocean beyond.
The carpeted master suite has the same octagonal shape as the living room above, with a recessed alcove with built-in nightstands, track lighting (including reading lights over the bed alcove), a marble tiled wall with a gas fireplace and built-in nooks and shelves, a generously sized closet with mirrored doors, and an upgraded master bath. The master bath has double sinks, Corian counters, and block glass details around the step-in shower. Two additional bedrooms offer plenty of room for guests or family members, with a second bath featuring built-in cabinets, a pedestal sink, and a shower/tub.
A landscaped backyard patio area has a hot tub and outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off sand from the beach that is just steps away. A shed provides storage for gardening equipment and beach toys. A brick pathway curves around the patio, framed by colorful flowers and shrubs.
Spacious, well designed, and meticulously maintained, this beach getaway offers a unique combination of privacy and togetherness. The rooftop deck is a special spot for enjoying beach sunrises and sunsets. Currently used as a vacation rental and second home. In addition to the beach, Aptos shops and restaurants are close-by, along with access to Highway 1 for commuters and visitors.
