Property Description

Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and draped in blooming trumpet vines, this thoughtfully updated Eastside Costa Mesa residence blends timeless design with effortless indoor-outdoor living on a generously sized lot. Over the years, the property has been expanded to offer three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms within a light-filled, open-concept floor plan. Vaulted shiplap ceilings soar overhead, grounded by light hardwood floors and arched details. The kitchen is the undisputed heart of the home: custom two-tone cabinetry with glass fronts, marble subway tile, a six-burner range with double oven, farmhouse sink, and a generous breakfast bar that flows into the living and dining areas. A fireplace anchors the living room, while a nearly 12’ La Cantina door dissolves the boundary between indoors and out. The primary suite addition offers a peaceful retreat with a private deck and direct backyard access, while the secondary bedrooms and updated bathroom provide flexible space for guests, home office, or play room. The home is further enhanced by central air conditioning, a whole-house Aquasana water filtration system, and an under-sink reverse osmosis system. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the front and backyards unfold as a series of intimate yet connected outdoor spaces, with eight mature citrus and fruit trees woven throughout. An entertainer’s bar, complete with barbecue, sink, and refrigerator, opens to a sweeping backyard garden setting where string lights, a fire pit lounge, and tiled fountain create a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. A conveniently located half-bath with exterior access keeps guests comfortable without ever stepping inside. A side-yard putting green, raised planter beds, and an automated irrigation system complete the landscape. Additional highlights include a gated private driveway to a finished garage with built-in cabinetry and attic storage. The driveway also presents potential for RV or additional off-street parking. Ideally located just moments from Irvine Ranch Market, Back Bay Center, and the scenic trails of Upper Newport Bay, this home offers a rare blend of charm, functionality, and lifestyle in one of Costa Mesa’s most desirable neighborhoods. *Seller may consider buyer concessions if requested in an offer.*
