About This Home

As of November 2017

This darling craftsman-style cottage is one of the best homes to come on the market this year in Eastside Costa Mesa. Formerly part of the Costa Mesa Home Tour, this eclectic home makes great use of its space and truly invites and celebrates indoor/outdoor living. The front porch space is gated for privacy and makes for a great place to unwind and enjoy the company of friends. Sliding glass doors lead into the great room area which includes a dining room, living room with fireplace, a welcoming kitchen with breakfast bar, plenty of cabinet and counter space, high-end stainless appliances and a built-in work station. The secondary bedrooms each have closet organizers, good space, and look out onto the private grounds. The master has an en-suite bath and looks out to the outdoor space. Bathrooms have been nicely remodeled with subway tiles and granite and quartz counter tops. The outside of the home has been transformed into an amazing entertaining area and garden space that acts as an extension of the main home. There is approximately 1,500 square feet of tiered decking, a fire pit with flagstone pathway, a private outdoor shower and sink, and a separate art studio which was featured in the LA Times. Completing the home is its great location in Eastside Costa Mesa- close to wonderful restaurants and shops in the 17th Street shopping corridor, the Back Bay Hiking Trails, and the sandy beaches of Newport! Welcome home to 402 Esther Street.
