Welcome home to Rancho Escondido in beautiful Aptos! Set amongst mature landscaping on the ocean side of Highway 1 and just minutes to Rio del Mar beach, shopping and restaurants, this immaculate single-level 3 bedroom home with Spanish-Mediterranean influences features an inviting entry courtyard with private sitting area and covered porches which lead to a hand carved front door with wrought iron hardware. Upon entering, you are greeted with a dramatic vaulted living room with skylights, chandelier and period all-stone fireplace. Off the main living area to the left is a modern kitchen with vaulted ceilings, granite counter tops, custom cabinets, a built-in gas range/oven, dishwasher and refrigerator. Two of the larger bedrooms off the living area share a full-tile bath with dual sinks. The 3rd bedroom has a separate side entrance to the outside and is adjacent to the garage laundry area. It would make a great office/or?
