About 701 Taper Drive
Perched high in the coveted “Hill” neighborhood of Seal Beach, this stunning 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2,646 square foot mid-century modern masterpiece has been redesigned by Baytown Design to blend dramatic architectural details with effortless beach-close vibes. Enter through the grand two-story entry and be welcomed by towering 8 foot windows that frame lush atrium greenery, setting the tone for the indoor-outdoor feel. The heart of the house is the completely remodeled open-concept kitchen and living area featuring Taj Mahal quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and a striking island that comfortably seats three. All new stainless steel appliances, including a professional Thor range, microwave drawer, and built-in refrigerator, perfect for intimate or large gatherings. A quartz slab backsplash, under island storage, and stunning floating shelves complement the living room’s dramatic raked windows. The striking wood beam ceiling with trusses is a breathtaking backdrop for gatherings large or small. Throughout the home, enjoy the new vinyl windows in addition to eight new sliding patio doors allowing an abundance of natural light. Downstairs, three generously sized bedrooms provide flexibility, comfort, and ample closet space, including one with its own ensuite bath — perfect for guests or multi-generational living. Ascend the stately staircase to the second floor owner’s retreat — an expansive private sanctuary designed for relaxation and inspiration. This serene level features a spacious bedroom with vaulted wood beam ceilings and a private balcony overlooking the tranquil atrium, a separate office/living area with its own balcony and peek-a-boo ocean views, plus a cozy reading nook bathed in the afternoon sunlight. There are two closets, including a large walk-in and a luxurious bath with dual vanities and an oversized walk-in shower. From nearly every room, the signature design elements — raked windows, exposed beams, and clean lines — work in perfect harmony with the relaxed coastal vibe that only Seal Beach can offer. 701 Taper Drive isn’t just a home — it’s a mid-century modern coastal dream!
