Water Tower House (Seal Beach, California)

 house, water tower

When the water tower outlived its useful purpose several decades ago, community activism kept it alive. It was going to be torn down and the land would be redeveloped. Surrounding its base for several years there has been a car lot where used cars are bought and sold. The water tower, itself, has been for sale a number of times. In the last listing, the price was several million dollars (around $5 million) as we recall. With hardly any land below, it would be sold more as a second home or for those who don't mind high rise living. The last family residing in it full time moved to something closer to terra firma that their kids can enjoy. But they held onto the house and rent it out as a weekly vacation home. At last glance, the home rented for around $5000/week. *information is subject to change

The converted water tower house offers one of the finest views anywhere. An elevator leads up to the approximate 4th story living area of a luxury tri-level home with 2 master suites, huge bar, fire pit lounge, outdoor jacuzzi and office in a view room at the top.

Rising 87 feet into the air, 30 feet in diameter on a 35 square foot lot was built in the late 1800s to service the steam engines that ran from Los Angeles to San Diego.
