Upscale Aptos Townhome


A bright red maple tree and shingled vestibule shade the entrance to this 2-bedroom, 2-bath townhome in Aptos.  The front door opens to a living/dining room with views through sliding doors of a sunny, private deck and green treetops behind the home.  Wood floors, recessed lights, an angled gas fireplace enclosure, high ceilings &amp; fan give the room a modern look and feel.


The open floor plan includes a gourmet kitchen with a breakfast bar, Granite counters, stainless steel appliances including a gas stove, tiled backsplash, and the same greenbelt views over the deck.


Carpeted stairs lead to the upper level. The carpeted master suite looks out over trees and nature through a large window. Recessed lights, ceiling fans, ample closet space, and a master bath with double sinks, shower w/glass doors, and modern fixtures complete the suite.


A second carpeted bedroom is near a second bath with a shower/tub combination.  A laundry closet holds a washer/dryer as well as storage cabinets for laundry supplies behind louvered doors, and a one-car garage offers additional storage.


The townhome is near a park with picnic, tennis, and playground areas, and is a short walk or bike ride from New Brighton beach and the Cabrillo campus, including its weekend Farmers Market.  Convenient to Highway 1 and close to Aptos and Capitola shops and restaurants, this location boasts a friendly neighborhood and convenience for commuters, without sacrificing the privacy and peace of nature surrounding the home.

Life In Aptos, CA


Aptos is a charming, unincorporated community just a few minutes down the highway from Santa Cruz. Although the geographical area of this community is quite expansive, much of it is actually protected parkland and the housing market primarily consists of beautiful homes near the beach and quiet mountain properties with generous acreage. At the heart of the community, tucked away from the highways, is a charming town center with everything you need from banking institutions to cafes and boutiques to salons. Residents in this area have easy access to soft sandy beach of Seacliff State Beach, and the forested hiking trails in Aptos Creek Park.

Discover 7420 Viewpoint Rd


Enter this stunning Mediterranean villa, set on a sunny lot above Aptos, through a custom filigreed wrought-iron door. Inside, a tiled entryway with recessed alcoves and wood doors opens to two levels of alternating tile and wood, including soaring ceilings with exposed beams.


The living room looks out over dramatic, uninterrupted ocean views through spacious windows and wood-framed French doors that open to a tiled deck running along the length of the house. Built-in cherry wood bookshelves, hickory floors, and a gas fireplace add warmth and coziness.


A few steps below is the tiled dining and kitchen area, opening through its own French doors to the deck and the same panoramic views of Monterey Bay. The chef’s kitchen includes gleaming granite counters, a breakfast bar, custom cherry cabinets, a commercial grade gas stove and range hood, and a farmhouse sink, placed to take advantage of the view. Watch sunsets and fireworks and stargaze from the decks.


The spacious master suite continues the exposed beam and angled ceiling design of the living and dining areas, with hickory floors and a private deck, accessible through sliding doors.  A bank of windows offers 180-degree views of the bay.  A walk-in closet with built-in shelves and drawers offers space for organized storage. The master bath is a display of custom tilework on the floors, and inside the walk-in shower.  Double pedestal sinks are framed by Vetrazzo counters, modern lighting and fixtures, a heated towel rack, and custom wood cabinetry complete the spa-like look.


Two other carpeted bedrooms open through sliding doors to a tiled deck with a hot tub and raised garden beds. A second bath has tiled floors, built-in cabinets, a shower/tub combination, and recessed lighting. A laundry room has a tiled floor and counter and plenty of cabinet space.


Landscaped areas that add privacy and slope gently down the hill towards the ocean surround the home.  Walking paths, a grove of 18 olive trees, and benches connect each level. A two-car garage offers more storage space.


Stunning inside and out, this beautifully upgraded and maintained home combines the finest natural materials with a design that takes full advantage of a spectacular, uninterrupted view of our beautiful coastline.
