Set above Huntington Harbor on a private lane just blocks from Heckscher Park, this crisp navy-and-white contemporary is the kind of house that surprises you. A brick-paved courtyard driveway — room for a crowd — leads to a columned portico and stone-accented entry.

Single-family homes in the Huntington Union Free School District sold for a median of $949,000 (typically $770,000–$1,275,000) across 251 recorded sales between Oct 6, 2025 and Oct 2, 2026, up 8.1% on the 12 months before. This home's $899,000 list price sits in the mid-market single-family tier for the Huntington Union Free School District.
