Property Description

Experience iconic Northern California Modernism at 519 Cliff Drive, a 1968 architectural masterpiece in the coveted beachside enclave of Rio del Mar. Designed by a revered Northern California Architect as his family home, this 2,115 sq ft home embodies the era's signature architectural style: harmonious integration of the landscape with minimalist design creating a unique and calming NorCal lifestyle. The architectural open plan flow features 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, interior courtyard, private sundeck, laundry room and two car garage. Inside, a dramatic family room showcases a statement fireplace, iconic period furnishings and floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors throughout the house open onto an interior courtyard. But the true magic of 519 Cliff Drive lies within its appreciation for the coastal climate and the grounds' long-standing Monterey Cypress, Himalayan Dogwoods, Maples and 'Aptos Blue' Redwoods and its prime proximity to the beach. This isn't just a home; it's a gateway to the laid-back coastal lifestyle that defines Santa Cruz County. Enjoy a short stroll from the calm and quiet neighborhood to Hidden or Rio del Mar beaches where pelicans, seals and whales can be seen.
