About This Home

Set within Seal Beach’s coveted “Hill” neighborhood, this reimagined coastal retreat pairs effortless sophistication with thoughtful modern design. Every space reflects harmony and light—crafted for connection, comfort, and California living at its best. Spanning approximately 2,874 square feet, the home showcases wide-plank oak floors that flow through open living and dining areas framed by soft textures and natural tones. Warmth emanates from a sculptural fireplace in the living room, complemented by custom millwork and designer lighting that create an atmosphere of understated luxury. Centered around a dramatic waterfall island wrapped in veined quartz, the kitchen blends beauty and function with minimalist cabinetry, chevron-patterned backsplash, brass accents, and integrated high-end appliances. Upstairs, the primary suite evokes boutique-hotel serenity with a sleek fireplace, custom built-ins, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub, dual vanities, and a dual-entry shower with multiple sprays. Two main-level bedrooms offer flexibility for guests or a home office. Lush landscaping frames a private backyard designed for alfresco dining and relaxation in the coastal air. Additional highlights include a dedicated laundry room, and an attached two-car garage. Modern elegance, effortless livability, and a premier Seal Beach location combine to define the art of refined coastal living.
