Welcome to this inviting home located in the heart of Aptos. It is impressive even as a drive-by! The living room has a rustic coziness with a wood paneled wall & gas fireplace. The updated kitchen is a chef's delight, with a center island and ample counter space for more than one cook to be in the kitchen at a time. Custom cabinets offer a generous amount of storage space. The combination kitchen, family room & dining area make this a fabulous place to entertain. There is a 1/2 bath for guests off the hallway. Right outside your sliding doors is a large flagstone patio with shade arbor, fully fenced & private yard that has been professionally landscaped. All of the bedrooms are spacious and have views of the mature trees and landscaping around the neighborhood. Laundry facilities are inside the finished 2 car garage, which has extra storage space in the rafters. Single family homes in the Imperial Court subdivision rarely come on the market. The common areas in this upscale community are beautifully landscaped and well maintained. Right down the street is Willowbrook Park, which is truly a gem in this community. From this home you are a short walk to AJ's market, the Cabrillo College farmer's market, and less than a mile to New Brighton Beach State Park.
