The home

About 118 3rd Street

Located a 1/2 block from one of the most pristine beaches in California, this inviting 4 bed, 3.5 bath Old Town Seal Beach home spans over 2800 sf and provides ample space for entertaining as it balances coastal relaxation with retro small-town charm and modern convenience. A sunken living room with recessed lighting, custom shutters, a cozy bay window-seat and a gas-burning fireplace, greets you upon entering. The floor-plan then seamlessly flows toward a welcoming, well-appointed kitchen, with stainless steel appliances and granite counters. Past the kitchen, the open-concept dining room and den area transition to a private courtyard, ideal for gatherings. Upstairs, at opposite ends of the home, discover 2 luxurious primary suites, each boasting their own spa-like bathroom. In between are 2 nicely sized guest rooms and a thoughtfully updated guest bath, providing an abundance of options for family and visitors. A smartly realized pass-through office leads to a stairwell that brings you up to a fabulous rooftop deck, equipped with a fire pit, which creates the perfect setting for star-gazing, catching holiday fireworks or unwinding with friends. But that's not all! This well-loved home also offers paid-off solar, central AC, a dedicated laundry room, a 2 car garage with a generous amount of storage, and a dog run. Iconic Main Street is mere blocks to the south and oozes timeless beach-town vibes, with Mom & Pop shopping and quaint dining options, as well as a picturesque view of Seal Beach Pier, the second-longest wooden pier in California. Head north a few blocks and you'll find every other kind shopping and dining option imaginable, from the shops at 2nd & PCH, featuring Whole Foods, Sephora, Lululemon, Vouri, Brodard & Beachwood Brewery, to Gelsons, Trader Joes, The Crab Pot, Schooner or Later and so more! This is a special property, ideally situated in the enchanting area affectionately known as "Mayberry of the Sea", offers a rare opportunity for one lucky buyer. **Seller plans to look at offers as they come.

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 7.03% (week of Sep 24, 2026); your rate will differ. A loan this size is typically a jumbo loan, which prices differently. Tax and insurance are modelled, not billed amounts; tax uses a typical Seal Beach rate, excluding Mello-Roos. Verify all figures. Full assumptions and disclosures.
