The home

About 16601 Peale

This is an excellent opportunity for a buyer who wants to do a major remodel to a mid-century single story waterfront home (OR enlarge). This mostly Original Condition single story waterfront home on Gilbert Island has a single loaded street (homes on just one side of street), and it has a fantastic "sun in the back patio" location. The home features: 4 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, 1646 Square Feet of Living Area, 55 Feet of Water Frontage, Side-tie Boat Dock configured to hold multiple boats (or could hold a yacht up to 53 feet with reconfiguration), private fenced front patio, 2 Car Garage, concrete rear patio, double pane windows, owned solar system, and 55’ X 100' Lot with the pierhead Line extending 30 feet out into the bay. Most waterfront homes have 50 feet (or less) of waterfrontage, so this home allows the opportunity to have a 5 foot larger yacht (LOA)... plus the bigger footprint allows for a home up to be larger than the typical 50X100 lot (based on lot coverage ratio). It is also just a 5 Block Stroll to the soft sands of Sunset Beach... so this waterfront home is also a "beach close" home! This is a fantastic prime location single story opportunity which comes along very rarely in Huntington Harbour.

These facts are for the listing's map point, which can sit off the lot. A zone line can also cross a lot, and agencies revise their maps. In cities, the fire zone line follows the State Fire Marshal's 2025 map; each city adopts its own map and may add areas. These lines are not a Natural Hazard Disclosure. Check the official maps and the seller's disclosures before you rely on them.

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 7.24% (week of Oct 29, 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 Huntington Beach rate, excluding Mello-Roos. Verify all figures. Full assumptions and disclosures.
