One of only 46 oceanfront properties along the famed "Gold Coast" of Seal Beach"”one of Southern California's last seaside enclaves retaining the charm and enchantment of a bygone era. Rarely offered and long regarded as legacy properties, these distinctive residences present a unique combination of panoramic coastal views, exceptional lot size, waterfront elevation, and private gates opening directly onto the sand. Even more distinguishing, this offering is one of only four premier parcels encompassing approximately 11,760 square feet"”nearly double the average neighboring oceanfront lot. The substantial residence encompasses an extraordinary array of spaces designed for living, entertaining, and relaxation, including formal and informal living and dining areas, a library, lounge and bar, games or billiards room, concealed gallery garage, office or service quarters, three ancillary bedrooms, and six baths. The expansive ocean-facing primary suite captures a spectacular natural tableau of the Pacific and glowing sunsets and features dual bathing areas, vanities, water closets, and wardrobes. The outdoor setting extends the living experience with a private walled oceanfront garden, broad verdant lawn, service or storage cabana, two generous structure-width terraces overlooking the Pacific, rooftop viewing deck, and private gates providing immediate access to the sand. Long held within the same family, the property reflects a character and composition unlike any other in the region. Shaped through decades of thoughtful curation, its richly layered interiors incorporate remarkable architectural artifacts and craftsmanship, including a Parisian hotel lobby reimagined as a library and an authentic roulette table repurposed as the kitchen island, alongside slab stone, intricate wood inlay, ornamental ceiling treatments, and artisan-crafted brass, copper, iron, and millwork. The residence is further distinguished by an extraordinary collection of architectural antiques sourced from France, England, and other locations worldwide. With its idyllic coastal setting, scale, and proximity to amenities in Orange and Los Angeles Counties, this is a rare opportunity to preserve a remarkable legacy residence, reimagine its distinctive character, or explore redevelopment possibilities.
