How often do you get the chance to buy a home where you call the shots? Welcome to 233 E 21st Street, a charming single-level ranch-style home that invites you to craft your dream residence in one of Costa Mesa’s most desirable neighborhoods. This is an opportunity for buyers with vision to design a home that reflects their personal style and taste. Set on a generous 6,080 sf lot, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home features a sparkling pool perfect for soaking up the SoCal sunshine and enjoying seamless indoor/outdoor living. The canvas is ready; all it needs is your imagination. Located just blocks from the vibrant energy of 17th Street, you’ll have top-tier dining, boutiques, and daily essentials at your fingertips. Only 1 mile from Newport’s scenic Back Bay and 3 miles from the coastal charm of Lido Marina Village, this home is perfectly positioned for everything we love about living in Orange County: beaches, trails, shopping, and a true sense of community. Add in award-winning schools, and you’ve got the ideal foundation for long-term living. Opportunities like this are few and far between.
