Gated Beachfront Retreat with Private Sauna & Deck

This 3BR/3.5BA oceanfront home in Aptos is perched right on the sand, offering tucked-away privacy in the gated Seascape community. Remodeled and contemporary, the two-story home offers incredible wildlife viewing, cool mornings by the sea, and fantastic outdoor spaces. Watch the waves crash against the shore from an expansive beachfront deck, or enjoy group gatherings in the spacious enclosed courtyard with a grill, outdoor lounge, and dining area. The open-concept living space indoors dazzles with panoramic views of Monterey Bay that are visible while you’re cooking, sharing meals at the dining table, or kicking back in the comfy sitting area. ABOUT THE HOUSE Prepare to have your breath taken away. A 180-degree view of the ocean offers a stunning backdrop to the open-concept living space. A freestanding gas fireplace sits at the heart of a stylish sitting area with two plush armchairs and a pair of comfy sofas. Watch the glimmering waves or the 55” flat screen TV. Prep dinner in a gourmet kitchen while gazing across the sweeping expanse of the bay. This well-equipped cooking space features contemporary cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances, including a French door refrigerator. There’s seating for four at the kitchen bar, and another eight can gather for meals at a big wooden dining table. Enjoy the sprawling oceanfront deck featuring four sun loungers and a sitting area. A private ladder allows you to climb right down to the beach. The house also has an enclosed courtyard with a gas grill, four-person dining table, and a lounge area with a six-person sofa. It’s the perfect spot for meals and group gatherings! Vaulted ceilings and a California king bed await in the master bedroom, along with a pair of armchairs, desk area, and 50" wall-mounted TV. A luxurious en-suite bathroom boasts a dual vanity and tub/shower combination. Ocean views await in the ‘“secret” second bedroom that’s only accessible via the courtyard. This bedroom includes a queen bed and an en-suite bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The versatile third bedroom upstairs is great for a family. Parents can take the queen bed on one side and give the kids the two twin beds, twin trundle, and queen-size sleeper sofa on the other side of the accordion doors. This room also has a private sun deck and access to a guest bathroom with a tub/shower combination. Guest amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi, cable TV, a half bath, sauna, and washer/dryer.
