Ocean views like this, in a single-level 4,400 sq/ft retreat with total privacy & style, barely exist in Santa Cruz County. Mar Sereno is a rare find where ceiling heights & natural flow set the tone, every room feels limitless, light-filled, & impossibly inviting. Youll catch the ocean from your living space & feel the signature airiness that can only come from custom volume & attention to detail. Design here is anything but ordinary, statement fireplaces, sculptural lighting, & a kitchen with Wolf appliances bring chef-quality comfort to every gathering. Spa-inspired bathrooms channel the luxury of Post Ranch Inn, daily routines made extraordinary with soaking tubs & 5 star finishes. Morning starts with a cold plunge or fruit picked fresh from your garden; evenings wind down in a private wood sauna beneath the trees. Raised beds, olive & fruit trees, dedicated surf rack, outdoor shower, & bike storage celebrate an adventurous lifestyle. Expansive indoor-outdoor living, & a layout perfect for entertaining elevate beyond the expected. Right between Aptos, Capitola, & Soquel, this homes location means the best of the coast is always within reach. For those seeking sophistication, scale, & soul with a designers touch, Mar Sereno sets a new standard for Santa Cruz living.
