Perched on top of the Hill, and capturing the coastal character of Seal Beach, 1701 Catalina Avenue is the product of an extraordinary, no-expense-spared restoration that reaches far beyond a typical remodel — reimagining this 4,001 square foot residence, from the studs out, while honoring its architectural roots and laid out over four floors. Strategic wall removal and custom structural steel enhancements now opens the floor plan, improving flow and creating connected, light-filled living environment ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The result is a home rebuilt with uncompromising craftsmanship, modern systems, and a refined, open floor plan designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living with a focus on the mature landscape design all around the house and especially focused on the lush backyard and pool. Offering 6 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms across 4,001 square feet, the home is anchored by an expansive primary suite encompassing the entire 4th floor— a true private retreat with ocean and Catalina Island views on clear days. The kitchen and all three full bathrooms were completely reconstructed from the wall studs, featuring premium stone countertops, custom cabinetry, curated tile and fixtures, and bathrooms finished in elegant marble flooring. New wood floors flow throughout, complemented by restored fireplace detailing, custom trim, hardware, and architectural millwork at every turn. No detail was overlooked — roof replacement, all new windows, a striking new front entry door system, extensive electrical and plumbing upgrades, improved insulation, and restored stucco ensure this home performs as beautifully as it looks for years to come. A redesigned front entry creates a dramatic arrival, while mature landscaping was preserved and enhanced to frame the refined pool and outdoor living areas around the house — seamlessly extending the home's living space into the outdoors through the windows and sliding glass doors. New garage doors and epoxy-finished garage floor complete the transformation. 1701 Catalina Avenue represents a rare opportunity to own a fully restored coastal residence, where mid-century architecture meets contemporary luxury, just up the street from McGaugh Elementary in the award-winning Los Alamitos School District and minutes away from the 405, 22 and 605 freeways.
