Welcome to Seacliff Palms, a peaceful enclave in Huntington Beach. This rare end-unit 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome offers incredible potential within a private gated community ideally located just minutes from the beach, Trader Joe’s, Seacliff Village, and top-rated Huntington Beach schools. This home delivers the perfect blend of coastal convenience and quiet comfort. Privately situated on a tucked-away cul-de-sac, the home features a bright, open floor plan with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and a desirable location close to the community pool. The spacious living and dining areas open to a large wraparound patio, perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the ocean breeze. The main level also provides direct access to a two-car garage for convenient parking and storage. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, including a primary suite with dual sinks, a soaking tub, separate shower, and a large walk-in closet. The upstairs laundry room adds everyday convenience. While the home is in need of updating, it offers outstanding potential to remodel and personalize to your taste. With a solid structure, abundant natural light, and a highly sought-after floor plan, it’s an ideal opportunity to create your dream coastal retreat. With low HOA dues, community amenities include a sparkling pool and spa, gated entry, and lush landscaping. With only one shared wall, a tranquil setting, and close proximity to top-rated schools, Surf City beaches, the HB Pier, and Pacific City, this property offers exceptional value in one of Huntington Beach’s most desirable areas.

Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1993, this property is 31 years old and explicitly noted as 'in need of updating' in the description. The kitchen features original-style light wood cabinets, tiled countertops, and white appliances (built-in oven, microwave, dishwasher, paneled refrigerator) which are all significantly outdated. Bathrooms also present with tiled countertops, light wood vanities, and basic fixtures from the same era. While the property appears well-maintained structurally and is clean, the finishes, flooring (carpets), and fixtures throughout are dated and require modernization to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: High School: Huntington Beach High School (9/10).
Exceptional Coastal Location: Situated in a highly desirable Huntington Beach area, minutes from the beach, shopping (Trader Joe's, Seacliff Village), dining (Pacific City), and entertainment (HB Pier).
Gated Community & Amenities: Located within the private, secure Seacliff Palms gated community, offering a pool, spa, lush landscaping, and low HOA dues.
End-Unit Townhome Advantages: Benefits from being a rare end-unit on a quiet cul-de-sac, providing enhanced privacy, abundant natural light, and only one shared wall.
Top-Rated School Access: Zoned for highly-rated Huntington Beach schools, including Huntington Beach High School (9/10), a significant draw for families.
Functional & Bright Interior: Features an open floor plan with soaring ceilings, ample natural light, spacious living areas, a large wraparound patio, and convenient direct garage access.

Cons

Requires Significant Updating: The property is explicitly noted as 'in need of updating,' implying substantial renovation costs and effort for personalization.
Limited Premium Views: Despite 'has_view: true,' the primary view is 'Neighborhood,' lacking the highly sought-after ocean or city light views often found in coastal properties.
Condominium/Townhome Limitations: As a townhome, it comes with a smaller private lot (1815 sqft) and shared walls, which may not suit buyers seeking a larger, fully detached single-family residence.
