About This Home

As of August 2025

Located in one of the most coveted and secluded cul-de-sacs just south of 17th Street in lower Eastside Costa Mesa, this updated, single-level residence presents a truly rare opportunity. With designer touches throughout and an impeccable attention to detail, this home shines in a highly desirable neighborhood. Step inside to discover a bright, free-flowing floor plan anchored by a formal living area showcasing a welcoming brick fireplace and raised hearth. The renovated kitchen features slab countertops, custom cabinetry, designer tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances—all flowing into the family room. Seamless indoor-outdoor living awaits with a beautifully appointed private rear entertaining area just off the kitchen/family room perfect for al fresco meals, and lush seating areas for intimate gatherings. The spacious primary suite includes an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and ample closet space. Two additional generously sized bedrooms share an equally well-appointed, fully updated bathroom. Additional improvements include professionally designed landscaping, recessed lighting, a newer roof, double-pane windows, large side yards ideal for various uses as well as a gate at the rear of the property for easy walk-ability to 17th Street. All of this is just moments from award-winning schools, world-class beaches along The Peninsula, Newport Harbor, plus the vibrant shops and dining at 17th Street and Fashion Island. Situated on one of Eastside Heights’ most desirable cul de sacs, this property truly is a rare gem.
