This Balboa Terrace detached colonial is just too adorable for its own good. The 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath house weighs in at a hefty 2,160 square feet. Near Ocean Avenue, the property is decently close to the action, but preserves its quiet suburban feel across the street from the recently redone Aptos Playground. The interior looks a bit understated, though for $508 per square foot, there will be plenty of Home Depot money left over.
