About This Home
Welcome home to 2705 Starbird, located in the highly sought-after Upper Birds of Mesa Verde on a quiet cul-de-sac, adjacent to Tanager Park and just moments from the Costa Mesa Country Club. This fully reimagined coastal transitional retreat offers 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and approximately 3,005 square feet of refined living designed for both elevated entertaining and everyday comfort. Flooded with natural light, the home seamlessly blends modern sophistication with relaxed California style, highlighted by wide-plank wire-brushed oak floors, oversized windows, and plantation shutters throughout the open-concept main level. The chef’s kitchen serves as the centerpiece, featuring crisp Shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, polished Carrera subway tile, an expansive island ideal for gathering, a 48-inch five-burner range with griddle and double ovens, and a built-in 42-inch counter-depth refrigerator. Retractable accordion doors create seamless indoor-outdoor flow to the private resort-style backyard with a sparkling pool, lounge areas, and enhanced privacy fencing. The versatile layout includes three ensuite bedrooms—one downstairs, one upstairs, and a spacious primary retreat overlooking the park with a spa-inspired bath showcasing dual vanities, a frameless rain shower, and designer finishes. Thoughtful upgrades include a centralized smart-home control system for indoor/outdoor audio, pool features, and security, newer HVAC with A/C and Nest thermostat, newer electric panel, WiFi optimization throughout, custom closet systems, electric Hunter Douglas shades, and abundant built-in storage. The home is equipped with solar and designed for energy efficiency, complementing the EV charger in the 3-car garage along with a Flow Wall organization system and dedicated workspace. Offering an exceptional blend of design, technology, efficiency, privacy, and location in one of Costa Mesa’s most desirable neighborhoods, this incredible Mesa Verde residence truly has it all!
