About This Home

As of November 2023

Nestled on the picturesque bluff of Costa Mesa, this charming end unit townhome offers a unique blend of comfort and style. Boasting an expansive two-bedroom layout, this residence features two master suites, each graced with its own en-suite bath for utmost privacy and convenience.

The main living area and both bedroom suites are bathed in natural light, courtesy of the floor-to-ceiling windows.Embrace the quintessential Southern California lifestyle with not one, but three outdoor areas. The kitchen patio is just right for dining al fresco or firing up the grill, while a spacious balcony off the living room provides a serene spot to bask in the sun's rays. The primary suite boasts its own private balcony, for a quiet retreat.

An extra-large two-car garage provides ample storage space and a dedicated laundry area, ensuring both practicality and organization. The community has a serene vibe characterized by majestic trees that echo with the hoots of owls at night. For relaxation and recreation, the community offers a rejuvenating jacuzzi, perfect for unwinding after a long day.

You'll be steps away from Vista Park, where you can enjoy leisurely walks and catch stunning sunsets from the bluff. And come Fourth of July, you'll have a front-row seat to witness a dazzling display of Fourth of July fireworks from multiple neighboring cities. Additionally, the Santa Ana bike trail is right nearby for scenic rides, leading to the sun-kissed shores of Huntington and Newport beaches, as well as nearby Talbert nature preserve, Fairview Park and Canyon Park.

This spot is a dream for anyone who loves the beach and the city life, placing you within minutes of the vibrant nightlife, eclectic eateries, and trendy shops that dot the Newport Beach peninsula, and the bustling enclaves of Costa Mesa. Plus, the retail therapy meccas like South Coast Plaza and Fashion Island. Indulge in the beachfront allure of Pacific City in Huntington Beach, and explore the curated offerings of SOCO Mix and 17th St. Getting around is a breeze too with easy access to Pacific Coast Highway, 55, and 405 freeways. John Wayne Airport is a mere 6 miles away.

Discover the best-kept secret of Costa Mesa, where the borders of Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, and Huntington Beach converge. 1201 Las Arenas Way is a perfect blend of coastal charm and urban convenience - it's not just a home, it's a lifestyle!
