About This Home
Your Coastal Sanctuary Awaits in La Selva Beach Imagine waking to ocean breezes just 0.8 miles from the beach, surrounded by peace and privacy on a rare 0.79-acre flag lot. This home sits at the end of a quiet lane, backing directly to a protected greenbelt owned by the Santa Cruz Land Trust -- no rear neighbors, just forever-open space. Five minutes to Manresa State Beach. Ten minutes to 40 miles of redwood trails in Nicene Marks State Park. Miles of coastline stretch in both directions, while Aptos and Santa Cruz are an easy drive away. The front yard invites you to linger professionally landscaped with a beautiful lawn, newer concrete patio, landscape lighting, outdoor bar, and gazebo -- perfect for morning coffee or sunset gatherings. Inside, this lovingly updated home feels warm and welcoming. A skilled contractor-owner created beautiful living spaces with colored concrete floors, a gourmet quartz kitchen with center island and premium appliances, updated baths, dual-pane windows, and a stunning rooftop deck for sweeping views, plus a finished garage and large attached workshop. This is more than a house -- it's a place for laughter, connection, and coastal living at its best. A true sanctuary where memories are made and the soul finds rest.
