Description

Perched atop a private knoll in the redwoods of the Glenwood Acres community, this 3-bed, 3-bath home in Scotts Valley offers something rare: genuine escape - just minutes from Hwy 17 and a quick commute to Apple, Netflix, and the rest of the Valley. Arrive via your own private driveway, leave the noise behind, and step into 2,401 sq ft of light-filled living designed for decompression. Expansive windows frame towering redwoods from every room. Two fireplaces, gas and wood-burning, make evenings effortless. The wrap-around deck and hot tub are your after-work ritual. A private path leads to your own personal redwood grove. The kitchen opens to a warm family room, while a separate living room with French doors and windows on three sides blurs the line between inside and out. Upstairs, the primary suite delivers vaulted ceilings, a skylight, a private balcony, and a spa bathroom with radiant heated floors, soaking tub, and separate shower. A ground-floor office or den is ready for remote work days. Two-car garage, with electric vehicle charging, and a solid helical pier foundation built in 2000. Top-rated Scotts Valley schools. Various Silicon Valley companies offer commuter shuttles from Scotts Valley. Santa Cruz beaches 20 minutes away. This home makes the commute worth it.
