Tucked on one of Mesa Verde's most desirable cul-de-sacs, directly adjacent to Tanager Park and moments from the Costa Mesa Country Club, 2705 Starbird delivers the kind of California living most people only dream about. Beautifully updated and offering approximately 3,005 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this home blends elevated entertaining with effortless everyday ease. Natural light fills the open-concept main level, highlighted by wide-plank wire-brushed oak flooring, oversized windows, and plantation shutters throughout. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen pairs timeless design with modern functionality, featuring crisp Shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a polished Carrara subway tile backsplash, and an expansive island made for gathering. Premium appliances include a 48-inch five-burner range with griddle and double ovens and a built-in counter-depth refrigerator. Retractable accordion doors open to a private resort-style backyard with a sparkling pool, multiple lounge and entertaining areas, and exceptional privacy, ideal for long summer days and warm Southern California evenings. The flexible floor plan offers five bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, including three ensuite bedrooms across both levels. The spacious primary suite overlooks the park and features a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a frameless rain shower, and refined designer finishes. The home is equipped with a centralized smart-home system controlling audio, pool features, and security, along with newer HVAC with Nest thermostat, solar, an updated electrical panel, custom closet systems, electric Hunter Douglas shades, and WiFi optimization throughout. The 3-car garage includes an EV charger, Flow Wall organization system, and dedicated workspace. Combining location, design, and lifestyle, 2705 Starbird is a rare opportunity and a home that truly has it all.
