About this House

This single-story Costa Mesa home offers an easy, open layout, with new wide-plank oak-toned flooring running throughout the main living areas and bedrooms. Recessed lighting and ceiling fans keep every room bright and comfortable, while bifold doors open to a private front courtyard and sliders lead to the backyard, creating easy indoor-outdoor flow. The kitchen is finished with espresso-toned cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, with a breakfast counter alongside a separate dining area for everyday meals and entertaining. The primary suite offers an ensuite bath with a soaking tub set beneath a tiled surround. A second full bathroom, appointed with a frameless glass walk-in shower, serves the home's additional two bedrooms. Outside, a covered patio extends living space for shaded entertaining, complemented by a private above-ground spa. The backyard is bordered by mature trees, including a citrus tree, with full fencing for privacy, while the gated front yard is enclosed by a wood-and-stucco privacy fence. An attached two-car garage and long driveway add parking flexibility. Set minutes from schools, this Costa Mesa address also puts Costa Mesa Country Club, the Santa Ana River Trail, shopping, and the beach within easy reach.
We estimate this home will sell faster than 100% nearby.
