Welcome to 2038 Aliso Avenue, where timeless style meets one of Costa Mesa’s most coveted locations. Set on an oversized lot towards the end of a quiet cul de sac, the property offers exceptional privacy and a sense of retreat. This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence is thoughtfully positioned near the Newport Back Bay, offering easy access to scenic walking and biking trails and a lifestyle rooted in coastal ease. Just minutes away, 17th Street provides a vibrant mix of acclaimed dining, boutique shopping, and everyday conveniences, all within the highly rated Newport Mesa Unified School District. The home itself strikes a refined balance between original character and modern updates. A double-sided fireplace creates a warm architectural focal point, connecting the main living spaces with effortless elegance. In the chef’s kitchen, a newer refrigerator complements a layout designed for both function and entertaining. Many of the French doors and windows have been replaced, enhancing natural light and comfort throughout, while much of the original wood flooring has been beautifully refinished, preserving the home’s authentic charm. A newer roof adds an important layer of peace of mind. Classic, composed, and quietly impressive, 2038 Aliso Avenue is Costa Mesa living at its most polished.
