About This Home
As of June 2025A Rare Gem in Eastside Costa Mesa! Completely remodeled just a few years ago, this beautiful single-level, 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cape Cod-style cottage is nestled in the heart of a quiet, small, park-like complex of just 35 homes. This serene community spans 5.5 acres of lush grounds with mature trees, grassy areas, a pool, a clubhouse, and ample guest parking—all while being uniquely surrounded by Newport Beach on three sides!
More than just “move-in” ready, this home offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience. Luxury laminate wood flooring and recessed lighting flow throughout. The upgraded kitchen boasts ample storage with shaker-style, self-closing cabinets, quartz countertops, a spacious island, and stainless steel appliances.
The inviting living room features built-ins, a charming wood-burning fireplace, and a stunning floor-to-ceiling window that fills the space with natural light. The primary bedroom includes a sliding door leading to the private patio and a remodeled en-suite bath with a walk-in tub. Both secondary bedrooms are generously sized, and all three bedrooms are equipped with ceiling fans. The laundry is conveniently located in the hall closet.
Newer sliding glass doors open to a spacious private patio, where you’ll find olive trees, Santa Rosa plums, night-blooming jasmine, rose trees, and a lime tree—a peaceful outdoor retreat. Additional upgrades include central heating and air conditioning, as well as a 50-gallon hot water tank. A large two-car garage is just steps away. Plus, mail is conveniently delivered through the mail slot in your front door!
The HOA covers water and trash and maintains the beautifully landscaped grounds. This prime location is within the highly rated Newport Mesa School District and is less than a mile from 17th Street. It’s just minutes from major freeways, Newport Beach, Balboa Island, Fashion Island, the OC Fairgrounds, John Wayne Airport, world-class dining, shopping, entertainment, golf courses, and stunning beaches. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the nearby Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve (Back Bay), offering miles of scenic trails.
This is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously upgraded, turn-key home in one of the most desirable locations!
