About This Home

As of July 2025

A coastal dream awaits in a meticulously reimagined residence only a quarter of a mile from the sand. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Seal Beach's coveted Old Town, this property offers both coastal tranquility and ease of access, with the storied Main Street just two blocks away and the Electric Avenue Median Park less than a half block’s distance from the home. The open-concept design of the main level encourages a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle year round, with an expansive patio playing the perfect backdrop for entertaining or savoring the ocean breeze in solitude. The floor plan offers an easy transition between the living room and the kitchen - the heart of this home and a space that inspires culinary creativity, with a suite of Thermador appliances, plentiful storage, and a striking quartz-topped island. The sophisticated beach charm continues upstairs, where the master suite is a haven with soaring vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and a serene bathroom. A spacious bonus room with an attached patio is fully wired for surround sound, lending itself well to a movie theater set up or a simple flex space. This is more than a home; it's your all-access pass to the coastal life. With a state-of-the-art Sonos sound system, hardwood flooring throughout, 24-hour security system, and many additional upgrades, this stunning residence is luxury, lifestyle, and location—perfected. Imagine stepping outside your door and feeling the ocean breeze, with breathtaking sunsets and the pristine beach just moments away.
