About this property
NEW PRICE | $2,995,000 | Two Blocks to the Beach. Completely reimagined from top to bottom, 227 18th Street offers something increasingly hard to find in Downtown Huntington Beach: 3,502 square feet of beautifully updated living space with neighbors on only one side. The northeast-facing home feels unusually open and light for the numbered streets and offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and three levels designed for everyday living and entertaining. The extensive renovation went well beyond new finishes. New windows and exterior siding were installed, balconies rebuilt and re-decked, glass railings added, and nearly every interior surface updated. The main level features multiple living spaces, including a dramatic living room with exposed beam ceilings and original brick fireplace. The remodeled kitchen features extensive cabinetry, stainless appliances and an oversized Galapagos quartzite waterfall island opening to the dining and family room. Large doors connect the interior to a private patio for easy indoor/outdoor living. The second floor includes three generously sized bedrooms, a Jack and Jill full bath, an additional full bath and separate laundry room, creating a complete family or guest level. The entire third floor is devoted to the owner's retreat. The large bedroom features a fireplace and opens to a private balcony with a peek ocean view. A separate office/craft room, two walk-in closets and Japanese spa-inspired bath complete the level. The bath features dramatic stone surfaces, a round soaking tub, oversized multi-head shower, floating dual vanity, fireplace, private sauna and two separate water closets. It opens directly to a large private outdoor terrace. The former spiral staircase was removed and the floor professionally reframed, adding usable living space while preserving a clear path that can accommodate a future elevator without structural modification. Just two blocks from the sand and close to Huntington Dog Beach, the home includes an outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach. Main Street, the Huntington Beach Pier, Pacific City, restaurants and shopping are all nearby. 227 18th Street combines the space of a substantial home with the walkable beach lifestyle that makes Downtown Huntington Beach so desirable. With 3,502 square feet, extensive indoor and outdoor living areas and an entire floor dedicated to the owner's retreat, this is a home that needs to be experienced in person.
