About This Home

As of October 2025

Welcome to 1079 Visalia Drive, a mid-century modern gem in Mesa Woods where intentional design meets modern luxury. Nearly 1,900 sqft. With four bedrooms and two baths, this single-story residence showcases the clean lines, broad rooflines, and geometric clarity of mid-century architecture, reimagined with contemporary finishes and craftsmanship. A mature olive tree anchors the front yard, complemented by board-and-batten siding and Horizon stone veneer that carries through to the fireplace inside. The striking façade is highlighted by a custom rift white oak Dutch front door with reed glass, while drought-tolerant landscaping reinforces California elegance. Inside, vaulted ceilings and a stone-clad fireplace create a dramatic yet inviting focal point in the open living area. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with Taj Mahal quartzite counters, custom cabinetry, Café appliances, and a large island. Bi-fold doors and windows extend the living space outdoors to a landscaped yard with a bespoke fire pit, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The serene primary suite opens with mahogany French doors to the backyard and continues with arched mahogany doors featuring reed glass that lead into a spa-inspired bath and walk-in closet. The bath showcases dual vanities, quartzite counters, a custom glass shower, Edward Martin tile flooring, and custom mirrors, all designed to elevate daily rituals. Additional highlights include custom bypass closets, LED lighting throughout, a thoughtfully designed mudroom, and a rare three-car garage with epoxy floors and architectural details that impart an industrial-modern edge. Perfectly situated near South Coast Plaza, local parks, and the best of Orange County beaches, this home blends timeless mid-century style with modern comforts to deliver the ultimate Southern California lifestyle.
