About this home

Welcome to 1956 Flamingo Drive, a completely reimagined pool home in the exclusive Lower Birds neighborhood of Mesa Verde. From the curb, this home makes an immediate statement with palm-lined frontage, whitewashed brick-trimmed hardscape, and a newer smooth stucco exterior finish. Offering nearly 2,100 square feet, owned solar, five bedrooms, and three bathrooms, this two-story home has been rebuilt with a no expense spared approach and a designer eye throughout. The main living area features all new engineered wood flooring in a herringbone pattern, level 4 smooth coat drywall, all new solid core doors, custom cabinetry, Rejuvenation lighting accents and hardware, and a stunning designer kitchen that opens to the living room and backyard. The kitchen showcases a green statement island, stone counters, brass fixtures, farmhouse sink, arched range alcove, and an all new Thermador appliance suite including side by side refrigerator and freezer, range, microwave, dishwasher, and wine fridge. Just beyond the kitchen is an incredible butler’s pantry with custom cabinetry, prep space, storage, and beverage area. Downstairs, three spacious bedrooms sit down the arched hallway on the left wing of the home, including the primary bedroom and fully remodeled primary bathroom. Also downstairs is a dedicated study or office with a glass-accented pocket door for privacy, a finished laundry area with all new Samsung stack washer and dryer, and direct access to the main living spaces. Upstairs are two spacious guest bedrooms and a fully upgraded bathroom, creating separation for guests, kids, work, or flex space. The backyard is built for entertaining with a pool, newer pool heater, new Wynn sliders, a bifold panoramic picture door, and a fully upgraded outdoor living area complete with TV, brand new hibachi grill, BBQ, covered lounge space, and exterior wiring set up for speakers. The home also includes a full home AV setup with surround sound inside and outside, smart-home-ready controls, WiFi infrastructure, Cat 5/6 wiring, Caseta-style lighting controls, and phone-based control capability. The garage is finished with a brand new carriage-style garage door and all new epoxy flooring. Lower Birds is one of Mesa Verde’s most beloved pockets, known for, pride of ownership, community feel, holiday traditions, neighborhood parades, and proximity to Fairview Park, Mesa Verde Country Club, and Costa Mesa Country Club. Homes like this are rare, do not let this one go.
