About this House

Located in a picturesque Costa Mesa neighborhood, this 5-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,665 square feet all on one single level. One bedroom wall was removed, creating a spacious 4-bedroom layout today, but it can easily be converted back to a true 5-bedroom if needed.
The current owner began a thoughtful renovation, but a change in circumstances now creates a fantastic opportunity for the next buyer to finish the remodel and customize the home to their own style and vision.
Over the past 18 months, the home has seen extensive upgrades, including a new Lennox A/C and heat pump, new ductwork, whole-house fan, insulated roof and walls, Leviton Wi-Fi controlled switches, newer 220-amp electrical panel, tankless water heater, water pressure regulator, replaced skylights, new gutters front and back, fresh exterior paint, illuminated house numbers, and a high-end front door with dual retractable screens.
The backyard features a swimming pool with a brand-new liner, pump, and filter. The property also includes leased solar and two Tesla battery packs, adding energy efficiency and backup power.
This home has many quality improvements already in place, with room to add value, and the chance to make it your own!
*As you can see, the home sits fairly close to the 73Fwy. There is a 40' wide elevated greenbelt between the home and a very tall sound wall which deadens the noise substantially while the prevailing winds blow from west to east, directing particulates and much of the sound inland*
940 Cheyenne St, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 is a 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1,665 sqft single-family home built in 1965. It last sold for $1,208,000 on Apr 2, 2026 (4% above the $1,165,000 asking price). It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $1,220,300, with a rent estimate of $6,112/month.
