About This Home
As of May 2025Welcome to this three-bedroom, two-and-one-half-bathroom home, offering a low-maintenance lifestyle in French Quarters with spacious grounds and community amenities. Offering approximately 1,280 square feet of natural light-filled living space, this single-family-attached residence is located in one of Costa Mesa’s most established and beautifully landscaped communities. The layout features bright living spaces, a functional kitchen, and three generously sized bedrooms upstairs—all filled with great natural light. While largely original in condition, the property is well-maintained and presents an excellent opportunity to update and add value over time.The enclosed patio space adds flexibility—perfect for a sunroom, office, gym, or bonus area (not included in square footage; permit status unknown). Enjoy the convenience of a private two-car garage with access through a personal courtyard, plus an additional assigned parking space and ample guest parking nearby. Residents enjoy exclusive access to a community pool, clubhouse, and two oversized greenbelts ideal for pets or play. Located in an all-electric complex just south of the 405 near South Coast Plaza, John Wayne Airport, and an array of dining and shopping options along Harbor Blvd, this is a central and connected place to call home. Low HOA dues make this a standout opportunity in a prime Costa Mesa location.
