About This Property

It was all a dream! Truly, the current owners dreamt of the ultimate home for their friends and family to live, laugh & love. Uniquely found here in the Lower Birds, is the bike trail to the beach, one entry into the community, underground electricity creating an open feeling on daily walks, and of course the famed 4th of July parade. Where to begin with the home? Let's start with the 10k+ sqft lot, fully landscaped drought tolerant yard by @terracottastyles, custom pool, large outdoor patio space perfect for outdoor bbq's/ movie nights, and of course the olive green custom mini ramp to live out all your Search For Animal Chin dreams, or easily removable for a large additional grassy area. Envisioned in '65 and continuously remastered from one MCM Connoisseur to the next with smooth cement stucco, wood accents, bamboo floors (zero carpet), remodeled bathrooms, new roof, new plumbing, glass staircase and more. Large master with dual walk-in closets. 2 additional guest rooms + an incredible private office/ 4th bedroom. Open concept, for gatherings not to be forgotten. At the end of the day, this is THE place to warm the jacuzzi and soak it all in. Perfectly located within minutes from South Coast Plaza, SOCO, The Lab, Lido Village, Pacific City, Mesa Verde Country Club and more. With area comps, on smaller lots, exceeding 1.5, this is one that will be gone sooner then later. Photography by Timothy Krueger & Robbie Jeffers. Design by Old Bones Co & Alana Dawn. #InspiredToMove
