striking exposed beam. The space is truly infused with character and charm. The
living room’s focal point is a stone-lined fireplace, perfect for curling up with loved
ones and enjoying a movie. Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen, a true chef’s

enjoyment, whether you're dreaming of creating a garden or hosting barbecues on
summer days. Located in the heart of Costa Mesa, this home is in close proximity to
the beach, great restaurants, and the Back Bay walking trails. Furthermore, the home
