    What's special

    Single-level livingNew roofEn-suite bathPrivately accessed rear garageAbundant natural lightBuilt-in workbenchExtensive cabinetry
    Modern California living is elevated in this extensively renovated Eastside Costa Mesa residence, where timeless architecture is complemented by exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful design & effortless livability. Designed to balance elegance with everyday comfort, this custom residence offers the rare convenience of single-level living. With the exception of an expansive 2nd-floor private retreat featuring an en-suite bath, walk-in closet, generous storage & its own outdoor deck, every major living space is located on the main level. Designed for everyday comfort & entertaining, the home offers 5 bedrooms, including 3 spacious en-suite retreats with walk-in closets & 4 exquisitely finished bathrooms. Abundant natural light, NEW WINDOWS throughout & the open-concept GREAT ROOM create a bright, welcoming atmosphere that feels equally comfortable for everyday living & entertaining. At the heart of the home is a custom crafted kitchen anchored by an oversized quartz island, 2-tone custom cabinetry, illuminated floating shelves, under-cabinet lighting & a wet bar/wine refrigerator. Premium Stainless Appliances include a 6-burner gas cooktop, double ovens, under-counter microwave & dishwasher. The main floor primary suite features a spa-inspired bath with a dramatic wet room, oversized shower, freestanding soaking tub, dual vanities & refined designer finishes. Newly landscaped front & rear yards provide privacy, room for children & pets to play, & inviting outdoor lounging or BBQ spaces. For the automotive enthusiast, collector or hobbyist, the privately accessed rear garage is a rare Eastside Costa Mesa offering. Oversized & configured for 4 vehicles with potential for a 5th, it includes 2 professional CAR LIFTS, built-in workbench & extensive cabinetry. An attached "Flex Space/Bonus Room" opens to the garage through a sliding wall system, creating an exceptional setting for entertaining, displaying a prized collection, watching the game or working on projects with friends. When closed, it functions as a recreation or possible movie room. This flex area is an "extension of the garage" and is not included in the home’s living square footage (approx 200 sq ft). Additional highlights include a NEW ROOF, generous 3-Car Driveway Parking & customization seldom available in today’s market. More than a beautifully remodeled home, this is a thoughtfully curated lifestyle property blending comfort, convenience, exceptional design & enduring value. Must see to believe!
