About This Home
As of February 2026Set within one of Eastside Costa Mesa’s most desirable enclaves, this beautifully updated single-level residence is located in an intimate community of just 35 homes, where properties rarely come available. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been thoughtfully renovated and is an excellent opportunity to own a move-in ready home in a highly desirable location. The interior offers a bright and functional floor plan with a combination of wood flooring and carpet, recessed lighting, and generous natural light throughout. The kitchen features quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances and opens to a spacious living area highlighted by a fireplace, built-in cabinetry, and large windows. The primary bedroom includes sliding glass doors that lead to a private patio and an updated en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms are well-sized and versatile. A spacious private patio provides an inviting outdoor retreat, and a connected two-car garage offers convenient parking and storage. The HOA includes water, trash service, and maintenance of the beautifully landscaped common areas. Residents enjoy lush, resort-style grounds featuring mature trees, manicured greenbelts, a pool, clubhouse, and generous guest parking, all ideally situated near Newport Beach. Located within the Newport Mesa Unified School District, the home is close to 17th Street shopping and dining and near the trails and open space of the Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve.
