About This Home
As of June 2025Ideally situated in the heart of Eastside Costa Mesa, this meticulously remodeled residence presents a rare opportunity for the discerning buyer. Showcasing an open-concept floor plan and a thoughtful blend of timeless finishes and contemporary upgrades, this home immediately impresses with its elevated sense of style and functionality. A custom European white oak Dutch door sets the tone, opening into a natural light-filled interior where vaulted ceilings and wide-plank European oak flooring create an inviting and spacious ambiance. The formal living and dining areas are perfectly suited for entertaining, while the fully remodeled chef’s kitchen features custom soft-close shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, Bedrosian tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a seamless connection to the adjacent casual living space. Here, a refinished fireplace wall and newly installed cabinetry with marble slab counters further elevate the home’s refined aesthetic. Abundant windows frame views of the beautifully landscaped rear yard, which offers a private retreat with mature greenery, a large sod lawn, and a pergola-covered patio ideal for dining al fresco or hosting large gatherings. The main level also includes a stylishly remodeled powder room, a separate laundry room, direct access to the garage with epoxy flooring, and ample storage. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a true sanctuary with a spa-inspired bathroom and an impressively large walk-in closet. Two additional generously sized bedrooms and a well-appointed full bathroom complete the second level. Additional features of note include European White Oak wide plank flooring throughout, newer designer interior and exterior paint, central air conditioning, ceiling fans, a newer concrete driveway, rain gutters, and block perimeter fencing. Located just minutes from award-winning schools, the beaches of the Newport Peninsula, the Back Bay Nature Preserve, and the shops and restaurants along 17th Street, this home exemplifies the best of Eastside Costa Mesa living.
