17162 Elm Lane, Huntington Beach, CA 92647
Charming early Huntington Beach bungalow expanded to approximately 1,900 square feet and beautifully upgraded in recent years, situated on a rare 8,160 square foot lot with an incredible 160-foot gated driveway that extends past the two-car garage to the rear of the property, offering exceptional potential to add both an ADU and JADU with existing multi-residential zoning. This versatile residence showcases a welcoming front porch with graceful Spanish arches overlooking a lush grassy front yard framed by wrought-iron fencing and pristine landscaping. Step inside to an extra-large light-filled living room featuring refinished hardwood flooring, crown molding, and a majestic fireplace with handcrafted surround and mantel. Major upgrades include central heating and A/C installed in 2025, fresh interior paint, and a 200-amp electrical panel added in 2021. The kitchen is a true showpiece, completely remodeled with granite countertops, tumbled marble subway tile backsplash, custom antique-finish soft-closing cabinetry, deep stainless sink, recessed lighting, and stainless appliances including a gas range, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Slate tile flooring flows into the dining area overlooking a step-down 500 square foot family room with stunning open-beam wood ceiling and entertainer’s wet bar, an inviting contrast to the elegant formal living room and perfect for relaxed everyday living or lively gatherings. Sliding glass doors open to an expansive wrap-around outdoor living space featuring a 315 square foot solid patio cover, a large open patio area, planter areas, a storage shed, and an orange tree, surrounded by high privacy walls. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including two bedrooms connected by a Jack & Jill bath with walk-in shower, plus a spacious hall bathroom upgraded with new vanity, slate tile flooring, and tiled tub/shower combo; all bedrooms include ceiling fans. Direct access from the family room leads to the oversized two-car garage with washer and dryer hookups and a new garage door. Built in the 1950s with a raised foundation and solid construction, this home radiates timeless retro charm and is ideally located in the heart of Huntington Beach close to shopping, dining, parks, excellent schools, and just minutes from the iconic white-sand beaches.
