About 251 Shoreview Drive
A trellised, tiled entrance to this 2-bedroom, 3-bath single-level home invites visitors to a spacious and sunny courtyard, surrounded by a stucco wall and bordered with citrus trees, a fountain, and water-wise landscaping. It’s a classic California look and feel, seamlessly blending the beautiful outdoors with a tasteful layout and elegant features inside. Oversized windows let the sunshine in and frame each room with views of the garden and landscaping. Crown molding, brick accents, and hardwood floors add elegance. The living room feels like an extension of the courtyard, with a cozy fireplace and its brick hearth along one wall.
The open floor plan continues to a formal dining room with another wall-sized window overlooking the patio, and built-in cabinets along one wall. The cheerful, upgraded kitchen has Corian counters, white cabinets, crown molding, and white appliances, including a gas stove and under-cabinet microwave. A breakfast nook overlooks the back yard. The kitchen transitions to a family room with another brick-enclosed fireplace and a paneled ceiling with exposed beams, evoking a cottage feel. A set of French doors leads to the back patio and garden, but windows along one side of the room make you feel as if you’re already there. Between the kitchen and family room is a bar counter with wine racks, and storage, perfect for entertaining guests.
The carpeted master suite has a large bay window overlooking the garden, spacious closets, French doors to the patio, and a bathroom with tiled counters, white cabinets, and a step-in shower. Two other bedrooms – one with hardwood floors and another with wall-to-wall carpeting complete the layout, both with windows overlooking the beautifully landscaped yard. The house has two additional bathrooms – one with a tub and the other with a shower. A freestanding two-car garage allows more space for storage and includes a bonus room and full bath as well.
Private behind its stucco walls and screen of trees, beautifully maintained inside and out, and surrounded by greenery in every direction, this lovely home is a perfect spot for enjoying the Central Coast’s indoor-outdoor living. The Aptos location is near shops and restaurants, the lot is sunny and spacious, and the courtyard look and feel make it a comfortable, elegant hub for relaxing and entertaining.
