Four days on the market, and this home is officially under contract.👇

But this one feels a little different.

Some homes are remembered for the view, the layout, or the way the light comes in. Others are remembered for the life that happened inside them.

The game nights. The dinners that stretched past sunset. The mornings watching the water. The little routines that somehow become the memories you carry with you years later.

That is what made this home so special, and it is exactly what we wanted the marketing to capture.

Because selling a home like this was never just about showing the rooms. It was about telling the story of what it could mean to live here.

We are incredibly happy for our sellers as they close this chapter, and just as excited for the buyers who now get to begin their own.

One family leaves with years of memories. Another walks in ready to create theirs.

That is one of the most beautiful parts of real estate.

And after just four days on the market, this home has found the people who get to write the next chapter.

Thinking about selling? The story of your home deserves to be told well.

Capitola was once imagined as the California Riviera. At 304 Grand Avenue, that vision still feels remarkably alive.

Only nine homes on this bluff have sold within the last decade. Opportunities here do not come often.

Many people dream of living on Depot Hill. 304 Grand Avenue may be your chance to call it home.

- 4 beds
- 4 baths
- 2,509 sqft

From the moment you step inside, the home has a warmth that is difficult to put into words.

It feels familiar, comforting, and genuinely welcoming, with the kind of character that cannot simply be recreated.

Vaulted open beam ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors, and walls of built in bookshelves give the living spaces a collected, timeless quality.

Sunlight moves through the home, while French doors open to beautifully landscaped gardens and quiet outdoor spaces that feel private and peaceful.

The kitchen offers generous cabinetry and workspace, with natural light pouring in from above.

There is plenty of opportunity to bring a fresh vision to the interiors, but the most important parts are already here: beautiful architectural details, an inviting layout, established gardens, and an unmistakable sense of home.

Set within one of Aptos’s most desirable coastal neighborhoods, with Hidden Beach, coastal trails, Rio Del Mar, and Seascape nearby, this is a home with soul, ready for its next chapter.

- 4 beds
- 2 baths
- 1,788 sqft
- List price: $1,850,000

The house is beautiful. The way it lives around the ocean, and within one of Capitola’s most treasured neighborhoods, is what makes it memorable.

Set on Depot Hill, where people come simply to wander, admire the historic homes, take in the coastline, and absorb an energy that draws people in whether they live there or not, this home offers the rare chance to make that setting part of everyday life.

Expansive Pacific views draw you through the main living spaces, filling the home with light and creating a constant connection to the coast. Arched windows, soaring ceilings, skylights, and a dramatic staircase add architectural character, while the kitchen anchors it all with generous counter space, a Viking range, and an easy flow into the dining and living areas.
Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a private retreat with sweeping water views.

Outside, a broad stone patio extends the living space toward the ocean, made for morning coffee, long lunches, sunset dinners, and evenings that linger.

More than a home with a remarkable view, this is a chance to live within the historic charm and unmistakable character of Depot Hill.

3 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | Approx. 2,100 sq. ft.

And the location? Prime Capitola. Just a short stroll from Capitola Village, Capitola Beach, local restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, and everything that makes this pocket of Santa Cruz County so special.

Opportunities in locations like this don’t come around often, and this one isn’t public yet.

→ Comment “LINCOLN” for more information.
