Property Description
**BACK ON THE MARKET—A SECOND CHANCE TO CALL THIS SPECIAL SEAL BEACH HOME YOUR OWN!** Ideally located at the top of “The Hill” with a cul-de-sac, this light-filled 4-Bedroom, 3-Bath home with Office (1bed/1bath downstairs welcomes you with a wonderful sense of space, warmth, and effortless coastal living. From the moment you step inside, high ceilings, skylights, abundant windows, and beautiful hardwood floors fill the home with natural light and create a bright & airy atmosphere. The open floor plan flows naturally from one inviting space to the next, creating a cohesive connection throughout the home. The spacious kitchen features white cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island, and abundant storage. A large bay window fills the kitchen with additional natural light and opens to a front patio—an inviting spot to enjoy morning coffee or the coastal breeze. From the kitchen, the home flows into an open dining area with a fireplace, then into two spacious family rooms that provide comfortable places to gather, relax, and entertain. From there, the living spaces open to the lush backyard, extending the home's relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A downstairs bedroom and full bath with private entry offer wonderful privacy for guests, extended family, or a peaceful retreat. A separate office/bonus room provides additional space for working from home, hobbies, or everyday needs. Upstairs, each bedroom features custom closet built-ins, while the Primary Suite includes a custom-designed walk-in closet with cabinetry and pull-out drawers. Outside, the private backyard offers an inviting setting for entertaining, dining al fresco, or simply relaxing in the Southern California sunshine. A spacious side yard adds even more possibilities—perfect for play, a garden, or a private patio retreat for the downstairs bedroom. A hard-to-find 3-car garage with epoxy flooring, extensive built-in cabinetry, and a workbench adds exceptional storage and functionality. Located within the award-winning Los Alamitos Unified School District and just a short walk to McGaugh Elementary, the beach, Seal Beach Pier, and the shops and restaurants on Main Street in Old Town.
