THE COASTAL HOMES NOTE · 3 MIN READ

A Quiet Sale on Seaward

By Michael Mena · Douglas Elliman · California DRE #01948813

433 Seaward closed this August for $3,925,000 — a Corona Highlands beach house, extensively remodeled, with private access to the Shore Cliffs beach. It’s the kind of home that doesn’t need much said about it, so this isn’t a case study in staging or strategy. It’s just an honest note on where things stand in this pocket of Corona del Mar right now.

Homes with real coastal access and thoughtful renovation continue to hold their value here, and buyers are paying close attention to the difference between a home that’s been lived in and one that’s been cared for.

Corona Highlands is one of the quieter pockets of Corona del Mar, a short walk or drive from Little Corona and the bluff-top neighborhoods described in the Corona del Mar guide. A sale like this one is worth noting precisely because it is quiet: no campaign, no spectacle — a well-kept home meeting a buyer who understood what the access and the renovation were worth.
