About 200 King Krest Lane

French Country ambiance less than a mile from Aptos Village. This 4-bedroom 3 bath home sits on 3 mostly flat sunny acres, expertly landscaped with native and Mediterranean plants. Two of the bedrooms and a bathroom are found across the pool terrace from the main house - perfect for teenagers or overnight guests. The boxwood hedge-garden abundant with roses and hydrangeas includes a gazebo designed by landscape architect Roy Rydell for the wedding of the original owner’s daughter in 1974. Perfect for afternoon wine tasting parties, it graced the cover of the June 1975 Sunset magazine. A French Country chicken coop, and a completely enclosed raised-bed garden complete the back garden. The front garden was expertly landscaped with mostly native and Mediterranean plants and fountains, a Pétanque court and gravel paths that lead to the potting shed, and kiwi-covered gazebo. Lavender and roses complete the Provencal theme. Four pairs of French doors frame the sunny pool terrace for viewing stunning sunrises and sunsets. Throughout the home, an abundance of windows and French doors flood the dramatic high-ceilinged rooms with natural light. The living room features a slate tiled fireplace, French chandelier, and built-in bookcases. The gourmet kitchen has stainless appliances, including a Wolf range and laundry/mud room around the corner. Eat in the dining room where you can watch the antics of the birds that are drawn to the fountain or choose to dine on your sunny pool terrace. Truly one of a kind.
