About the property

Updated Single-Story 3BR/2BA — Short Drive to Huntington Beach Pier

17341 Almelo Ln is a bright, single-story Huntington Beach home that balances everyday comfort with proximity to the coast. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath floorplan centers on a generous living room framed by a fireplace and an elegant bay window — a layout that creates a clear traffic flow between living, dining and breakfast areas. The seller has refreshed the interior with a fresh coat of paint and installed new carpet in all bedrooms, so the home is turnkey for buyers who want straightforward move-in readiness.

The kitchen and dining area open to a private backyard that features a cozy deck and room for a garden or expanded entertaining area. A newer wood fence on one side increases privacy and makes the yard feel contained — ideal for pets or weekend barbecues. Photos and the listing narrative indicate an attached two-car garage plus driveway parking, giving comfortable off-street capacity for family vehicles and guests.

This home sits on a larger-than-average lot for the neighborhood (approximately 6,014 sq ft), which is uncommon for smaller single-story homes near the coast and presents options for outdoor improvements or modest expansion (subject to permit and zoning). The single-level plan, combined with the yard and practical layout, will appeal to downsizers, young families and buyers seeking a manageable coastal property without the constant maintenance of a larger estate.

Location is a major draw: you are only a short drive from Huntington Beach Pier, downtown dining and retail, and several grocery options (Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods and Sprouts within a few miles). Recreational opportunities are nearby — from Meadowlark Golf Club to the waterways of Huntington Harbour — letting residents enjoy the best of coastal Orange County lifestyle while maintaining easy access to regional arterials for commutes.

Offered at $1,299,900, this home represents a strong entry into Huntington Beach’s coastal market with minimal immediate work required. Contact listing agent Stephanie Lau for a private showing and to confirm details like garage configuration and recent improvements.

Editorial market perspective

The Huntington Beach coastal market remains compelling for buyers seeking lifestyle and long-term appreciation. ZIP 92649 consistently trades at a premium to many inland Orange County neighborhoods due to beach access and amenities. Inventory in coastal submarkets has been relatively tight, keeping median sale prices elevated; market indicators through early 2026 show modest year-over-year appreciation (~2–4%) with low to moderate days on market. For sellers, this means opportunities for competitive offers if priced appropriately; for buyers, properties that are move-in ready—like this one with fresh paint and new carpeting—tend to attract quicker interest. Investors can expect stable rental demand, though returns compress vs. inland markets; owner-occupiers get the combination of lifestyle and historically steady capital growth.
