16387 Forest Hills Huntington Beach, CA 92649

An opportunity to restore a piece of California Coastal Modernism. Tucked within the gated Tennis Estates community of Huntington Harbour, this 1972 townhouse represents a distinctive period of Southern California architecture, when modernist design embraced dramatic volumes, natural light, and indoor-outdoor living. Rooted in the mid-century modern architectural movement, Tennis Estates reflects an era when residential design challenged traditional floor plans in favor of openness, simplicity, and a closer connection to the landscape. Steep rooflines, soaring interior spaces, and expansive walls of glass define the community's character, creating a seamless relationship between architecture and the outdoors. Spanning approximately 1,780 square feet, this residence features an open living area framed by floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking landscaped grounds. The sense of volume, uninterrupted sightlines, and connection to the outdoors create a living environment that feels contemporary more than five decades after its construction. The floor plan includes a downstairs office or den, a full bathroom on the main level, and two upstairs bedrooms with two additional full bathrooms. A private boat slip accommodating approximately 25-27 FT (to be verified) provides access to Huntington Harbour for boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, and exploring the waterways. Currently undergoing restoration, the residence has been taken down to its interior shell, presenting an opportunity for a new owner to shape the next chapter of the home while respecting its architectural origins. Completed improvements include recessed lighting, updated electrical outlets, and a new subpanel. The restoration concept preserves original elements, including the distinctive red brick flooring and sculptural matte-black steel fireplace, maintaining a connection to the home's 1970s design. Offered in its present unfinished condition, this is a rare opportunity to undertake a personalized restoration within a gated Huntington Harbour community with private boat dock access. For those who appreciate California Modernism, the opportunity lies in preserving and reinterpreting a distinctive architectural design for another generation.
