About This Home
As of May 2025A stunning multifamily gem in the heart of Seal Beach! This meticulously maintained building offers five charming 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom residences, all situated on a desirable double lot complemented by four single-car garages. With an abundance of outdoor space perfect for gatherings, this property reflects the inviting atmosphere reminiscent of a modern-day Melrose Place.
Perfectly located just two blocks from the sandy shores and only four blocks to the vibrant Main Street and peaceful River’s End Park, you’ll enjoy the ideal central Old Town location for both relaxation and recreation.
The three ground-floor residences feel like cozy single-family homes, each featuring their own front and back doors. Inside, the open floor plans showcase inviting living areas and kitchens equipped with sleek granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, accented by hard surface flooring. Spacious bedrooms are a highlight, boasting walk-in closets along with additional storage in the hallways—ensuring the residents have all the space they need. The two additional residences are located on the second level and feature beautiful hardwood flooring as well as remodeled kitchens with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. With no second-floor buildings on either side, the natural light and ocean air are abundant.
Outside, the property is adorned with beautiful mature foliage, providing a serene retreat within a coastal setting. The gated grounds offer a welcoming front patio equipped for outdoor dining, along with a tranquil back patio area—ideal for enjoying the Southern California sunshine. A convenient community laundry room is also located on-site as an added amenity.
This is an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of Seal Beach's charm, where each residence offers the perfect blend of sophistication and comfort. It’s not just a building, it’s a lifestyle!
