The moment you arrive, the home’s warm exterior palette, beautiful landscaping, and three-car garage create a striking first impression. Step inside to a bright, welcoming foyer anchored by a beautifully detailed wood staircase. To the right, the formal living room—with its inviting fireplace—flows seamlessly into the formal dining space, offering an ideal layout for hosting. The heart of the home is the completely reimagined kitchen, showcasing white quartz countertops, a generous center island, custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen opens to a comfortable family room, giving you the perfect spot for casual gatherings.

The spa-inspired primary bathroom features dual sinks, a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and a dedicated vanity area. The backyard is truly special—expansive, private, and designed for enjoyment. The sparkling pool with a cascading spa serves as the focal point, surrounded by a large lawn with ample room to entertain, relax, or play. A generous rear section of the yard offers the perfect opportunity for gardening or future outdoor enhancements. Additional upgrades include recessed lighting, wood flooring, plantation shutters, and air conditioning. Ideally positioned near Fairview Park, Costa Mesa Country Club, Mesa Verde Country Club, and top-tier shopping and dining. A rare opportunity in one of Costa Mesa’s most desirable communities—this home checks every box. Come see why it’s the one you’ve been waiting for.
