Location, Lighting, and Low-Carbon Footprint
This one-of-a-kind custom home in Capitola’s Upper Village offers an open design that brings in the sun from every direction. High ceilings downstairs and a vaulted master bedroom upstairs create an expansive feel, and the home opens to back and front palm-tree shaded patios, upstairs balcony, and a beautiful back porch with sunset views. When guests arrive, take advantage of the finished approximately 300-square feet of living space upstairs as a dormitory or bonus room. Leave your cars in the garage, and visit the nearby Village restaurants and shops, Capitola and New Brighton beaches, Gayle’s Bakery, or the neighborhood market and produce stands.
