About this home

FIRST TIME ON THE MARKET IN NEARLY 50 YEARS!! Generational opportunity to stake your claim and acquire one of Seal Beach's rarest lots. Located just a short walk to McGaugh Elementary at the end of a cul-de-sac on a pie-shaped lot of over 7800 SF, this home has endless possibilities. The property includes a large rear patio area with swimming pool and large open space, providing room for possible expansion or even an ADU/Guest House (subject to current State and Local Building Requirements). Remodeled and added on to during its history, this 5BR 4BA home is being sold in its present condition, allowing the buyer the option to update the interior to their personal specs, reconfigure/redesign the existing floor plan to modernize, or engage an architect and design/build team to build a new compound in an incredible Seal Beach neighborhood location. Seal Beach has long been known as one of the last true "small beach town" locations in Southern California. Locations like this with large lots and pools do not come along often.

Built in 1957, this property has undergone some renovations in its history, but the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, appears significantly dated. The kitchen features light wood cabinets, black appliances, and older tile flooring and countertops. Bathrooms show older tile styles and fixtures. Other areas include dated wood paneling, older parquet flooring, and basic light fixtures. While the home appears well-maintained and functional, it requires substantial cosmetic and functional updates to meet current quality standards and modern aesthetics, as also suggested by the listing description.

Cons

As-Is Condition & Required Investment: The property is being sold in its present condition, necessitating significant investment for interior updates, modernization, or a complete redesign/rebuild to meet contemporary standards.
