About this home

The view is the headline. Expansive. Unforgettable. Ever-changing. Perched behind the gates of Pasatiempo, 16 Kite Hill Road is a captivating 4 bed, 3 bath, 3,119 sq/ft retreat offering true single-level living on nearly half an acre, wrapped in palms and tucked into one of the area's most peaceful settings. A quiet, palm-lined approach gives little away, then the home opens to sweeping panoramas of Monterey Bay, Santa Cruz city lights, mountain ridge lines and the fairways below. Arched windows, vaulted beamed ceilings and skylights frame the scenery and flood the interiors with light. Easy, single-level living flows from a custom kitchen anchored by a substantial island into open dining and living spaces, all connecting seamlessly to the outdoors. Step outside to an expansive stone patio built for resort-style living, with a built-in BBQ, sink, refrigerator, hot tub and fire pit overlooking the coast. A spiral staircase climbs to a private bonus view room, made for reading, working or watching the sunset with a glass of wine. Private. Peaceful. Transportive. Minutes from downtown, the beach and Hwy 17, yet once home, it feels like a permanent resort retreat.
