Remarks

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in desirable Rolling Green Estates, this enchanting single-level California Mediterranean retreat delivers rare privacy and indoor-outdoor flow that feels worlds away - yet minutes to everything. Behind a stylish privacy wall, a generous sun-drenched courtyard and wraparound deck become an extension of the home itself: an inviting alfresco sanctuary for morning coffee, family play, or evening gatherings. Inside, the open, airy layout shines with thoughtful updates: a remodeled kitchen featuring granite counters, tile backsplash, new sink and oven; an updated bath with granite and LVP flooring; plus hardwood floors, plantation shutters, fresh paint, and carpet. 2-car garage, bonus shed and extra driveway for boat or trailer. Nearby Aptos Village, New Leaf Market, and Nisene Marks State Park for hiking and biking adventures in the redwoods. Homes blending this level of privacy, character, single-level ease, and unbeatable location are rarely available.
