About this home

Huge Price Improvement...Located in the highly sought after Upper Birds neighborhood of Mesa Verde, this beautifully maintained two story home blends timeless design, functional living, and modern California comfort. Featuring four bedrooms, three bathrooms, abundant natural light, and multiple living spaces, the residence offers an ideal layout for both entertaining and everyday living. Upon entry, guests are welcomed by soaring ceilings and an impressive staircase creating a bright and inviting first impression. The elegant formal living room features expansive windows and a classic fireplace, while the separate rear family room with its own fireplace offers a comfortable secondary gathering space with seamless connection to the kitchen and dining areas. The beautifully appointed kitchen showcases quartz countertops, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, generous prep space, and designer finishes throughout. A highly desirable downstairs bedroom and adjacent full bathroom provide flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private office. Upstairs, two spacious secondary bedrooms share an updated hallway bath, while the expansive primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat complete with dual vanities, a beautifully tiled walk-in shower, extensive closet space, recessed lighting, and abundant natural light. Additional highlights include newer solar panels (installed approximately one year ago, with an electrical panel upgraded to 200 amp and EV charging outlets in the garage), energy efficient upgrades, and exceptional indoor outdoor flow ideal for coastal entertaining. Ideally situated near parks, golf, shopping, dining, top rated schools, and just minutes from the beach, this rare Upper Birds opportunity captures the very best of Costa Mesa living.
