About this property
Let’s talk about the life you’re actually buying here. It’s a Friday in Costa Mesa. You wake up, grab coffee in front of your brick fireplace, then roll your bike out of the garage and point it toward the sand. Evening, you’ve got your pick of the strips — block after block of the best restaurants, watering holes, and nightlife you could dream up, from your low-key corner spot to whatever just opened. Or skip the land entirely: take a Duffy boat out for a sunset cruise, drink in hand, and let the harbor do the entertaining. This is the beach-town life people dream about and most never actually get to live. And it starts on a quiet, neighborly cul-de-sac in College Park —just friends and neighbors and driveways that turn into block parties. Some neighborhoods you move into. College Park, you get adopted by. Now the house. She’s cute, she’s perfect as is, and she’s perfect to make your own — bring your style, drop your bags, and go live your best life. The magic is in the combination of old and new: warm brick, rich hardwood, and modernized exactly where it counts. The open floor plan pulls everyone in and gives them room to stay, anchored by a swanky brick fireplace that works just as hard with a glass of wine on a quiet night as it does with a full house around it. The kitchen was built to host, not to hide — it’s the one where guests lean on the counter all night no matter how nicely you set the table. 3 perfectly sized bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 1,588 Sqft. An energy-efficient mini-split system heats and cools only the rooms you’re using — comfort where you want it, savings everywhere else. Dreaming bigger?Move-in ready with room to grow: the perfect combo. Out back, the 7,344 square foot lot is the real flex — private, generous, and built for the kind of backyard that quietly ruins everyone else’s hosting plans. Add a 2-car garage. And the location is almost unfair. Walk to Tewinkle Park, Fairview Park, the Costa Mesa Golf Course, and Orange Coast College. Bike to the beach. The OC Fair & Event Center is literally next door — concerts and the fair without the parking nightmare. South Coast Plaza and Mercado Gonzalez at Northgate Market are minutes away, the 55, 405, and 73 are right there, John Wayne Airport is a quick run, and Newport and Huntington Beach are close enough that your toes hit the sand before the car cools down. Quiet street, wild-fun town, and a whole lifestyle waiting on the other side of the front door. Come see her.
