About This Home

As of August 2020

This wonderful 3 bed, 2.5 bath home is located on a quiet one-way street, right in the heart of Old Town Seal Beach. You'll love being just a short walk away from the ocean, pier, and Main St. If you’re looking for a quieter environment, but would also like to enjoy the nearby shopping/restaurants, look no further. Be greeted by the white picket vinyl fence, artificial lawn, brick planter with matching chimney, and approach the front "Dutch" door. Entryway shows off the beautiful bamboo flooring which expands throughout almost every room. Subtle 2-tone paint is framed by the wonderful detailing of the crown molding and baseboards. Living room features recessed lighting, brick fireplace, great natural light, and bay window. Kitchen boasts bright white cabinetry, all new stainless steel appliances, and convenient breakfast counter. On your way to the garage, you will pass the side atrium and half bath. This 2-car garage featuring epoxy flooring and overhead storage is completely finished. Master bedroom features tall ceiling, a balcony with a peek-a-boo OCEAN VIEW, and a walk-in closet. Newly remodeled bathroom is a dream: Custom cabinetry, dual vanity, separate tub and steam shower, skylight, makeup vanity, and private commode. Upstairs laundry room is also a huge bonus! The remaining 2 bedrooms have ceiling fans and are spacious. Keep cool living by the beach, but take full advantage of the well insulated and efficient dual pane windows/sliders and luxury interior shutters.
