Coastal Living in the Heart of Costa Mesa Welcome to 3050 Madison Avenue, a well-loved 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home being offered for the first time by the original owner’s family. Situated on a desirable corner lot in one of Costa Mesa’s most established neighborhoods, this 2,274 sq. ft. residence (per County Assessor) offers comfort, space, and opportunity. In 2016, the home received a new central air-conditioning and heating system with brand-new ducting throughout, ensuring year-round comfort and efficiency. According to the seller’s family, the windows were replaced around 2014, and the front door and both back doors were upgraded to enhance energy efficiency, security, and curb appeal. The kitchen features beautifully finished white cabinetry and updated black appliances, creating a timeless and stylish contrast. It overlooks the lush, low-maintenance backyard, filling the space with natural light. Just off the kitchen, the living room offers a cozy fireplace, perfect for relaxing evenings or gathering with family and friends. A permitted game room / entertainment room at the rear of the home expands the living space—ideal for hobbies, entertaining, or a media retreat—and opens to a covered patio area for outdoor dining and enjoyment. Outdoors, the property boasts extremely low-maintenance landscaping with artificial grass in both the front and backyard, decorative concrete walkways and patio areas extending around the home and along the driveway, and a private backyard enclosed by block walls. The front yard is fully fenced with decorative wrought iron, with matching wrought iron fencing along the side of the home, providing added privacy and security. Additional highlights include a spacious driveway with ample parking and a location within the highly rated Newport Beach School District, just a short walk from the local elementary school and nearby park. You’re minutes from South Coast Plaza, fine dining, and the beach, offering the best of Southern California living. With its thoughtful updates, inviting interior, and private outdoor spaces, this Costa Mesa gem is ready for your personal touches. Don’t wait—this could be the dream home you’ve been waiting for, ready to create new memories for years ahead.

Condition Rating
Fair

While this 1963-built home benefits from recent major system updates (new AC/heating in 2016, windows/doors in 2014), the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly dated. The kitchen features tile countertops, an older-style wall oven, and a cooktop that require modernization. The visible bathroom has a very dated pink vanity and tile. The flooring is also inconsistent. The property is well-maintained and functional, but these key areas would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet contemporary standards, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of needing minor updates or repairs due to outdated components.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Significant System Upgrades: The property benefits from recent major updates including a new central AC/heating system with new ducting (2016) and updated windows/doors (2014), ensuring modern comfort and energy efficiency.
Expanded & Versatile Living Space: A permitted game room/entertainment area significantly expands the home's functional living space, offering flexibility for hobbies, entertaining, or a media retreat.
Prime Location & School Access: Situated on a desirable corner lot in an established neighborhood, within the highly-rated Newport Beach School District, and walking distance to an elementary school and park, offering excellent community and convenience.
Low-Maintenance & Private Outdoor Living: The exterior features artificial grass, decorative concrete, and block wall fencing, creating a private, secure, and easy-to-maintain outdoor environment.
Updated Kitchen: The kitchen boasts beautifully finished white cabinetry and updated black appliances, providing a stylish and functional central hub for the home.

Cons

Potential for Further Interior Modernization: Despite key updates, the 1963 build year and the mention of being 'ready for your personal touches' suggest that areas beyond the kitchen (e.g., bathrooms, flooring in some rooms) may require additional cosmetic or functional updates to meet contemporary standards.
Corner Lot Considerations: While offering advantages, a corner lot can sometimes be associated with increased traffic noise or reduced privacy compared to interior lots, despite the existing fencing.
Limited Bathroom Renovation Details: The description highlights kitchen updates but provides no specific details on bathroom renovations, implying these areas may be original or minimally updated, potentially requiring future investment for modernization.
