About 500 La Cuesta Drive
Surrounded by a variety of trees on all sides, this expertly upgraded 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath Scotts Valley home is the centerpiece of a large, sunny lot. Slate tiles lead to a vestibule area with a skylight, illuminating the front door. Inside are a living room with floor-to-ceiling windows and oak floors, and a family room with a gas fireplace glimmering from a marble tile column, surrounded by built-in cabinetry. French doors open to a beautiful deck with additional seating overlooking the graceful oak trees, shaded by a wooden trellis.
The stunning gourmet kitchen and dining area features the same oak floors as the living room, custom cherry wood cabinets with frosted doors, tiled walls behind the chef-grade Viking range and stainless sink, marble counters, and a marble-topped center island with additional seating, work, and storage space. Recessed lights add a modern, functional touch. A half-bath has a streamlined vessel sink atop modern cabinetry and a matching dual-flow toilet.
The master suite upstairs has more oak floors, recessed lights, sliding doors to a private deck, and an upgraded spa-like bathroom with a glass-walled step-in shower, stainless fixtures, tile walls, beautiful wood cabinets and counters, and a soaking tub. The master closet features a laundry washer/dryer and extra storage.
Two additional bedrooms have wood floors and share an upgraded bathroom with a shower/tub, tile floor, wood cabinets, and modern sink and fixtures. A fourth bedroom has a separate entrance, tile floors, and its own galley kitchen and en suite bathroom with a tub and shower.
The landscaped yard behind the house, divided by curved pathways, yields gracefully to a slope of oak and fruit trees that lead to a creek below. There is room for horses as well as RV parking. The statuesque trees and greenery offer a peaceful, quiet buffer from the rest of the world, but the conveniences of Scotts Valley shops, restaurants, excellent schools, and commuting routes are just minutes away.
This home balances so many lifestyle options, without having to choose: it’s elegant and comfortable, country yet close-in, private and peaceful, yet perfect for parties, large or small. With plenty of room for a family to spread out or for guests to settle in, it has been upgraded with top-notch craftsmanship and materials, built to last and welcoming to all.
