About This Home
As of March 2026Located just 1.7 miles to the beach sits this ultra private single-level home in the vibrant neighborhood of West Side Costa Mesa. The 8 foot hedge provides a feeling of seclusion but yet you are still oh so close to it all at the same time . The spacious living area welcomes you with the kind of vaulted ceilings that everyone dreams of , a brick fireplace that anchors the room, beautiful porcelain wood tile flooring and custom lighting throughout . The open kitchen is the heart of the home seamlessly connecting to the dining area, boasting a breakfast bar with black granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinets, and a large farmhouse sink. 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 baths in the main house with central heat and a/c to stay comfy all year long. The fun begins outside with a usable grassy front yard and a massive low maintenance backyard, complete with a covered patio , a built-in firepit and a secret lounge area behind the garage , all are so perfect and so much space for entertaining . (The property even includes a detached “Tiny" house with its own bathroom , it is literally larger than my first apartment and not included in our listed square footage )The oversized gated driveway provides ample parking space for multiple vehicles or RV parking. This home offers a convenient lifestyle with local shopping, dining,and a short bike ride to one of Californias best beaches. Yes, it’s a good deal on paper but wait , it’s even better in person.
