Tucked behind a private front gate in the seaside enclave of Corona Highlands, 453 Seaward offers the perfect blend of coastal charm and serene comfort. From the moment you step through the private front courtyard, you are enveloped in a sense of tranquility that carries throughout this recently updated three-bedroom, two-bathroom home. The spacious great room, bathed in abundant natural light from both the front and back of the property, serves as the heart of the home, featuring rich hardwood floors and a wood burning fireplace that invites cozy evenings. For the culinary enthusiast, the kitchen showcases stainless steel appliances, a wine fridge, and a large peninsula perfect for morning coffee, family breakfasts, or evening entertaining. Retreat to the primary suite, a private oasis offering a walk-in closet, a spa-like bath with a deep soaking tub and standing shower, and direct access to the backyard. This ultra-private outdoor haven is framed by mature, lush landscaping. It offers multiple seating areas, a grass lawn for activities, and a built-in barbecue and refrigerator for effortless al fresco dining. Modern comforts abound, including a security system, A/C, a dedicated laundry room with garage access, two-car driveway, ample street parking, and a two-car garage with freshly epoxied floors and ample storage. Beyond your doorstep, the lifestyle is unparalleled. Enjoy year-round sunny weather and the luxury of being just a half-mile from the beach, with private beach access. This central location places you in the heart of the Orange County coast, keeping you close to Laguna Beach, Newport Coast, and within walking distance of the charming galleries, boutiques, and high-end dining of CdM Village. A short drive connects you to the elite shopping of Fashion Island, the nostalgia of Balboa Island, and the nation’s top-rated schools. This is more than a home; it is a rare opportunity to live the quintessential California coastal dream in a space that feels both updated and classically comforting.
