New Residence in Aptos
Aptos Home: Artisan Craftsmanship Meets Coastal Living
In the sought-after Nisene Marks area of Aptos, this Dutch, hip, ranch-style home exemplifies the perfect blend of craftsmanship and contemporary living. Designed for an artist and sculptor, this residence features an expansive great room that opens to breathtaking ocean views. The thoughtful design process, spanning a year of planning and permitting, resulted in an Aptos home that celebrates both functionality and artistry.
Masterful Design Elements
The heart of this Aptos home is its open-concept great room, featuring an innovative movable wall that transforms a bedroom into an entertaining space when needed. Vaulted ceilings adorned with cedar create an airy atmosphere, while the combination of raised wooden floors and polished concrete adds textural interest. The master suite showcases a sophisticated doorless walk-in shower, curved precisely to prevent water overflow.
Exquisite Interior Craftsmanship
True to its carpenter-built heritage, the home showcases superior woodwork throughout. From the furniture-grade custom cabinetry to the wooden doors and trim, every detail reflects meticulous attention to craft. The interior finishes were carefully selected to create a warm, inviting atmosphere that speaks to the owner’s artistic sensibilities.
Aptos Home: Indoor-Outdoor Connection
A full-length deck along the west end of the home captures stunning ocean views, while an entry patio welcomes visitors. Set on five private acres, the property includes a detached garage workshop, perfect for artistic pursuits. The hillside location provides additional utility space beneath the house, offering ample storage without compromising the home’s elegant design.
Thoughtful Space Planning
The home’s layout maximizes both functionality and flexibility. The great room’s movable wall system allows the space to adapt to various needs, from intimate gatherings to larger celebrations. Abundant closet space and under-house storage ensure that every square foot serves a purpose, creating a home that’s as practical as it is beautiful.
The design and permit were by Chad Williams designer-builder and the construction was by the owner.
