402 Bernal Street

Nestled in the heart of Aptos Village, this special property blends vintage charm with thoughtful updates. Two existing living units, plus the potential for a third, offer exceptional flexibility. The extensively updated 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath single level main home retains its original character while offering a remodeled kitchen and baths, refinished fir hardwood floors, upgraded electrical and a new roof. An existing JADU studio provides additional living space or potential rental income, while an open permit to convert the garage into a 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath ADU creates exciting potential for multigenerational living, guests or additional rental income. Outside, a large, private and fully fenced backyard offers room to relax, garden and gather. Set between the redwoods and the sea, the location puts the best of Aptos within easy reach. Stroll to New Leaf, Cat & Cloud, Mentone, Cantine and other Village favorites, or head just minutes down the road to Rio del Mar, Seacliff and Seascape beaches and the trails of Nisene Marks. A rare combination of character, versatility and walkable Aptos Village living.
