Here's another treasured generational home that is now ready for a new owner. Consider this property either a candidate for a major floor plan makeover combined with significant systems upgrades, or an excellent spot for a custom home design and build. Because of the premium neighborhood and block location in the lower Eastside of Costa Mesa, you won't go wrong either way. In this spot, you'll be able to save the batteries on your bikes and take a nice walk to everything that East 17th Street has to offer in terms of dining, shopping, & entertainment. In addition, this location feeds to Mariners Elementary School in Newport Beach, across Irvine Avenue with signaled access monitored by Crossing Guards. The 5 Bd, 3 Ba floor plan is made up of a 3Bd/2Ba home in front; & a 2 Bd, 1 Ba Guest Qtrs in rear (think ADU circa 1960). The front of the home's floor plan is a quintessential Eastside 2 Bdrm, 1 Bath cottage with a raised foundation and wood burning fireplace. The middle of the home is a step-down, 60's addition of some fun rooms (a Den and Game Room) and Bedroom #3 and Bathroom #2. Attached to the rear, the quaint & cute little 2 bdrm, 1 bath Guest Quarters is located off the alley with it's own parking pad. The Guest Quarters also features it's own Electrical Meter. For serious Buyers who've been waiting for an opportunity in this location, a tour of the property will be required to consider all the options available. Please attend one of the Public Events to consider this rare opportunity, or schedule a private showing to see the property as soon as possible.
