Winding your way through the eucalyptus-lined streets of The Uplands at Seascape is like driving through a world apart. One senses a certain magic in the air -- a rare intelligence in the way this hushed neighborhood lives in harmony with the natural world, its magnificent estates poised at the edge of the sublime. Here is your chance to own one such estate. Rising from a lush hillside, this architectural marvel was built to showcase the ocean from every vantage point. Inside, a colossal dome skylight pours sunlight onto a stately spiral staircase as it curves down into the heart of the home. Here, picturesque white columns frame a grand living room in which ocean views appear infinite through floor-to-ceiling windows that encircle the open space, end to end. Reclining around the built-in fire pit on the back terrace that spans the length of the home, gaze out in rapture at the cool, muted blues of the Pacific meeting the sage greens and earthy grey-browns of the grassy cliffside. This is the beauty of Aptos at its most irresistible. Breathe in the heady scent of eucalyptus as you take your morning coffee on one of multiple private balconies. There is a secret bonus room off the garage in addition to five glorious bedrooms. Here, luxury is more than an address; its a way of life.
