Step into this charming Mesa Del Mar residence where a Dutch door warmly greets you. Boasting the coveted "T" house floor plan, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home spans 1,515 square feet, yet its clever layout creates a spacious feel throughout. The interior has been thoughtfully updated, featuring a living room with built-in storage and display space, a striking granite fireplace surround with a walnut mantle, and a kitchen equipped with newer appliances, a garden window, a coffee bar, and ample storage for convenience. Both bathrooms have also been tastefully modernized. While enhancements have been made to every room, the original footprint of the house has been preserved to maximize the outdoor living space. Accessible from the living room, dining room, and garage, the phenomenal outdoor area includes two patios, a turf section, and is ideal for entertaining with lighting and speakers spread across the yard. The garage maintains its original charm, complete with a pass-through "boat door" leading to an outdoor kitchen area with a TV, and ample seating. The back turf area serves as a versatile space for both children and adults, offering room for outdoor games. Various planters throughout the yard provide an excellent space for growing seasonal vegetables and fruits, including a Santa Rosa plum tree that was planted five years ago. The living room and dining room open up to a tranquil patio featuring a pond with a waterfall and an outdoor fireplace, creating a serene retreat. Recessed lighting and Lutron smart controls are found throughout the house, along with Lutron wireless shades in the living room. Situated within walking distance to Davis Magnet School, Sonora Elementary, Costa Mesa Middle/High School, and Orange Coast College, this home is also conveniently close to TeWinkle Park, offering playgrounds, fields, tennis courts, a skate park, and a dog park. Additionally, the Orange County Fairgrounds and The Farm Sports Complex are just a short stroll away. Mesa Del Mar provides easy access to everything Costa Mesa has to offer, including the Lab, The Camp, and South Coast Plaza, known for their excellent dining and shopping options, all within a 10-minute drive.
