Description

Enjoy the best of Seal Beach living—exceptional schools, dining, shopping, golfing, and parks nearby, with the beach just a short bike ride away. Located in the quaint neighborhood of College Park East, this fully updated single-level 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home makes a striking first impression with its custom front door, spacious front patio, and meticulously maintained landscaping. Inside, warm wood flooring flows throughout the beautifully remodeled interior.

The living room showcases vaulted ceilings anchored by a gas fireplace and plenty of natural light. The open-concept layout draws you into a chef's kitchen outfitted with a large center island with counter-height seating, custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, a wine fridge, and plenty of extra storage—equally suited for a relaxing weeknight dinner or entertaining family and friends. Sliding doors off the main dining room open to a side patio area.

The primary bedroom is a true retreat, featuring a private bath with double sinks, waterfall fixtures, heated floors, and a step-in shower with designer tile work. The additional bathroom also features double sinks and waterfall fixtures. Every closet throughout the home is outfitted with custom organizers.

A dedicated fourth bedroom doubles as a home office, complete with a built-in double desk and custom cabinetry—thoughtfully designed for the way people live and work today.

The low-maintenance backyard is designed for enjoyment—a spacious patio, beautiful landscaping, ambient lighting for evening gatherings, an electric awning, and convenient kitchen access make it a natural extension of the living space.

Additional upgrades include updated windows, copper plumbing, a tankless water heater, Security cameras and Tesla solar panel system (paid off) with battery backup installed in 2018—a home built and maintained with long-term quality in mind.

Centrally located in close proximity to the Seal Beach Tennis & Pickleball Center, Old Ranch Country Club, Old Town Seal Beach dining, major freeway access via the 405, 605, and 22, and the iconic Seal Beach Pier and shoreline. This College Park East home delivers the very best of Seal Beach living.
