REDUCED AND READY TO OPEN ESCROW – Life change forces sale — the sellers love this home and never planned to leave, and it shows! Welcome to the heart of Eastside Costa Mesa, where coastal sophistication meets the kind of cool you can’t manufacture. Here’s your chance to own a nearly new construction home that is the largest home in Eastside under $2M and the lowest price per square foot of any single family residence in the neighborhood — in a market where the average listing price currently exceeds $1,200 per square foot, this is a rare and undeniable value. Tucked away between the 55 freeway and Back Bay, this home offers the most desirable position in an intimate enclave of four homes. Situated furthest from the street with a front-facing orientation for convenience and quiet, sky views and no rear neighbors allow ample light and privacy. From the moment you step inside, the design speaks to a modern aesthetic that is high-end and livable. An open-concept layout creates effortless flow, perfect for hosting weekend brunches or unwinding after a day at the beach. The kitchen is a showstopper, featuring sleek finishes and a generous island for casual dining, while luxurious cantina doors open to a wraparound yard — with room for a hot tub and more. The primary suite serves as a serene sanctuary, an additional loft offers a secondary living space upstairs, and a 4th bedroom with private entrance and bathroom on the first floor provides versatility for multigenerational living. Built in 2023, you’re stepping into nearly-new condition without the maintenance headaches of older homes. Owned solar adds long-term value and HOA dues cover private yard maintenance. Compared to other homes in nearby neighborhoods, most are older and smaller and lack the volume, finishes, and modern livability this home delivers. Here, you get the best of both worlds: the feel and freedom of a detached home in a cool, walkable neighborhood without the upkeep. This is the perfect home for the buyer who wants to spend the day at the beach, explore 17th Street shops, and come home to something beautiful. Eastside is known for its walkable streets, independent coffee shops, trendy restaurants, and a community that embraces the best of coastal California living — all just minutes from the sand, the Back Bay trails, and the energy of Newport Beach and world class shopping at Fashion Island and South Coast Plaza, and easy freeway and airport access. Highly motivated seller.
