A Seal Beach home recently set a record for the guard-gated Surfside Colony, selling off-market for nearly $6.41 million.
This beachfront four-level house, rebuilt in 2000 and newly renovated, spans 3,948 square feet. It boasts four bedrooms, six bathrooms and a fourth-level deck, all of which make it larger than the property six doors south on the sand that sold for slightly less in April 2023 at $6.4 million.
Records show the seller, an investment limited liability company, purchased the home in December 2024 for $4.5 million.
Coldwell Banker Realty, whose agents handled both ends of the deal, said the property underwent “a no-expense-spared renovation,” emphasizing that “every element of the home is brand new.”
The exterior has smooth white stucco, a new roof and a new door on the two-car garage.
Inside, the open gourmet kitchen boasts designer appliances and custom cabinetry with modified shaker doors. They pair with Calacatta Caldia marble countertops featuring book-matched double waterfall detail.
Designer stones feature significantly in other areas of the home, including in the living room, where a solid slab of Calacatta Gold marble surrounds the fireplace.
Other high-end materials include wide-plank European oak floors, which flow throughout.
The house has two primary suites, including one that features an oversized dual shower crafted from Calacatta Gold marble, a Statuario Sponda marble vanity with dual sinks and premium Rohl plumbing fixtures. In the adjoining bedroom, a solid slab of Bianco Serena stone wraps the fireplace.
Handcrafted rift-sawn floating vanities, custom doors and wide-plank European oak flooring, as well as HVAC systems are also included in the renovation.
Outside features include ocean-facing decks with glass railings, including one off the main living room with stairs directly to the sand. Off the lowest level is an enclosed sand area with the beach beyond.
Kimia Vakili of Coldwell Banker Realty was the seller’s agent, while Ash Rizk of Coldwell Banker Realty represented the buyer.
According to Realtor.com, the property was previously listed and then pulled from the market in October. It originally hit the market in April for $8.75 million, with subsequent price reductions before settling at just under $7 million.
The property re-surfaced briefly before the sale closed Friday, Dec. 12.
Surfside is a small, private community just north of Huntington Beach. Founded in 1929 and incorporated as a non-profit corporation a year later, it is governed by a five-member board elected by property owners for two-year terms. Its official website claims there are about 260 homes, from older single-story cottages to newer multi-story houses, all within 75 feet of the beach.
