About This Property

Situated on a rare 7,000+ sq. ft. corner lot in one of Eastside Costa Mesa's most desirable neighborhoods, this beautifully reimagined single-level residence seamlessly blends modern luxury, timeless character, and exceptional future potential. With coveted R2 zoning, the property offers a unique opportunity for expansion, an ADU, multi-generational living, or long-term investment value-all while enjoying the comfort of a move-in-ready home in a premier coastal location. From the moment you arrive, the home's inviting curb appeal and charming walnut Dutch door set the tone for what awaits inside. Vaulted open-beam ceilings, abundant natural light, and a thoughtfully designed open-concept layout create a bright, welcoming atmosphere that feels both spacious and sophisticated. The stunning living room serves as the heart of the home, anchored by a dramatic slate-tiled fireplace and custom built-in shelving that add warmth, character, and style. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the chef-inspired kitchen features sleek quartz countertops with a striking waterfall edge, custom cabinetry, premium appliances, and a built-in wine refrigerator-perfect for hosting family and friends.  The private primary retreat offers a true sanctuary, complete with dual closets, a versatile alcove ideal for a home office or dressing area, and a very recently renovated spa-like ensuite bath. Luxurious finishes include dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, designer tile accents, and contemporary fixtures that create a relaxing resort-inspired experience.  Two additional bedrooms and an elegantly updated hall bathroom provide comfortable accommodations for family, guests, or flexible work-from-home living.  Step outside to discover your own private oasis. Both the front and rear yards are surrounded by mature landscaping, creating peaceful outdoor spaces designed for relaxation and entertaining. The expansive patio and covered outdoor living area feature overhead heaters, a ceiling fan, and a retractable roof, allowing for year-round enjoyment of Southern California's exceptional climate.  Additional upgrades include central air conditioning, a tankless water heater, recessed lighting, dual-pane windows, and a detached two-car garage.  Ideally located just minutes from Newport Beach, the Back Bay Nature Preserve, OC Fairgrounds, Irvine Ranch Market, top-rated schools, premier dining, and world-class shopping.
