Nestled on an exceptional flat, parklike 1.3 acre parcel in the heart of sunny Day Valley, this 3BD/2.5BA updated single-level home offers space, privacy, and contemporary, thoughtful design in a peaceful and coveted Aptos setting. Dramatic vaulted ceilings with exposed beams create a strong architectural statement, enhancing the homes sense of warmth, openness and volume, while skylights in the kitchen and living room draw in a wealth of soft, natural light throughout the day, highlighting oak flooring and a flowing, open layout. The updated open kitchen features quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, shaker cabinetry, and seamless flow to the dining area and outdoor patio for indoor-outdoor living. The primary suite offers a spa-like bath with a soaking tub, large-format tile, and a textured accent wall. Secondary bedrooms and additional baths provide flexibility, including built-ins and a natural stone vessel sink. The expansive lot features a fenced yard and colorful garden with wisteria, putting green, hot tub, and mature oaks and sycamores. A rare opportunity in an idyllic Aptos setting.
