Résidence Unifamiliale à Seal Beach

MOTIVATED SELLER for this beautifully upgraded Cornell model home in the highly sought-after College Park East neighborhood of Seal Beach. This split-level floor plan, known for its grand entryway, has been thoughtfully updated, including a rare feature most Cornells don’t have: French doors leading to a resort-style backyard. The reimagined kitchen (completed Aug 2025) is the heart of the home, with an improved layout, added pantry, imported Spanish tile backsplash, quartzite counters, and custom red oak soft-close cabinets. You’ll also find porcelain tile floors, a new sink, new refrigerator, new built-in dishwasher, plus the existing stove. The wall above the island opens to the dining room with a multi-functional breakfast bar. The first floor has soaring vaulted ceilings in the living and dining rooms, where afternoon light streams through a stained glass window above the front door and catches two crystal chandeliers - stunning! The downstairs bedroom (updated Jan 2024) is great for guests or a home office, next to a refreshed bathroom (Aug 2025) and indoor laundry room. The step-down family room flows into the backyard patio and features a brick fireplace, original parquet floors, and recessed lighting. The home has ample storage and double-pane windows throughout. Upstairs, the primary suite goes beyond the standard Cornell footprint: a converted balcony adds about 211 square feet to this already spacious room. It has a 17-foot walk-in closet with shelving on both sides and shoe cubbies, plus a second walk-in closet. Two secondary bedrooms offer walk-in closets, laminate floors, and backyard views, served by a remodeled bathroom (Jan 2024) with new porcelain tile, new bathtub and shower niche, and oak cabinetry. The backyard (updated in 2019) is the epitome of private, resort-style living right at home! It features a premium PebbleTec saltwater pool with smartphone-controlled equipment, enlarged spa raised above the pool, large pergola, gas line for an outdoor BBQ, privacy lattice with mature plantings, two garden sheds, custom surfboard rack, and side gates on both sides. The electrical panel was upgraded for a future EV charger, and a new 30-year roof was installed in 2020. Zoned for the award-winning Los Alamitos Unified School District, the home offers easy freeway access, and is close to Old Ranch Country Club, the coast, four neighborhood parks, Seal Beach Tennis & Pickleball Center, and an active community association.
