About This Home

As of December 2025

Located in the Lower Birds neighborhood, of Westside Costa Mesa you will find one of the most remarkable backyards. Set on an expansive 10,000+ sq ft lot, this property features lush, meticulously maintained landscaping, exceptional privacy, and limitless potential. Whether you envision building an ADU, expanding the main home, or simply enjoying the space as-is, the options are endless. Step outside to your very own resort-style oasis. The backyard showcases a sparkling saltwater pool and spa, a wide open lawn perfect for gatherings or even your annual wiffle ball tournament, and direct access to the Santa Ana River Trail—ideal for biking to the beach or enjoying coastal breezes right from your yard. A true highlight is the property’s personal orchard, featuring mature olive, avocado, Valencia and Navel orange, Meyer and Bearss lemon, grapefruit, and plum trees—bringing farm-to-table living to your doorstep. Inside, a desirable split-level layout provides generous living spaces designed for comfort and entertaining. Enjoy fireplaces in both the living and family rooms, soaring ceilings with updated lighting, and beautifully remodeled bathrooms with cohesive, modern finishes. The primary suite offers two closets and an oversized private balcony, creating a tranquil retreat within the home. Additional upgrades include a new roof installed in 2024, a tankless water heater, and thoughtful updates throughout. Although not a fixer, this home has potential to expand and redesign the kitchen. The location is unmatched—nestled between Mesa Verde Country Club and Costa Mesa Country Club, near Fairview Park and the award-winning California Distinguished Adams Elementary School. Blending serenity, convenience, and lifestyle, this home is a rare gem in the heart of Costa Mesa—ready to become the crown jewel of your real estate portfolio.
