In most Seal Beach homes you don’t have the option of choosing between basking in the sun on a nearby sandy beach or relaxing under a shady tree in a grassy expanse that is just outside your front door. But 477 Schooner is not most homes. It sits in an off-the-beaten-path community known as Bridgeport, where you’ll find a lush green grove that contrasts with our sandy beach. Ideally located near the end of a short row of custom residences, this home is buffered from the street by a dog-friendly park that is brimming with mature trees. Yet it is just a few short blocks from the Pacific Ocean. It is also within easy walking distance of quaint Main Street - home to boutiques, restaurants, theatre, post office, beauty salons, toy store, jewelry stores and coffee shops. Once inside, you’ll enjoy serene views from the living room, relax in a den that is brightened by skylights and work privately in an office that could be utilized as a 5th bedroom. The kitchen features a stainless steel oven, stainless steel refrigerator, 5-burner cooktop, built-in microwave, walk-in pantry and breakfast bar. Beamed ceiling, ample storage/display spaces, a spacious dining room and floors of Mexican pavers, wood & carpet complete the first level. Distanced from three second level guest/child bedrooms, the master retreat includes a sitting area, brick fireplace, mirrored wardrobes and a dramatic octagonal wood beam ceiling. The ensuite bathroom has a tiled vanity, separate shower and soaking tub. French doors lead from the sitting area to a spacious deck that overlooks the park. This well-maintained home also features low maintenance landscaping, copper plumbing, air conditioning, ceiling fans, second-level laundry room, skylights, outdoor shower, stone & brick patio and 3-car garage, . Seal Beach is prized for its small town atmosphere, highly rated schools, opportunities for community involvement and easy access to freeways that lead to business/entertainment centers of Los Angeles and Orange Counties. And 477 Schooner is an outstanding example why “charm and character” are frequently used to describe this small coastal community.
