Property is new construction or fully renovated.
While originally built in 1956, the property underwent a high-end remodel within the last few years. The kitchen is modern with premium stainless steel appliances and a large island, and the home features updated windows, doors, and wood flooring. It is in mint, turn-key condition, meeting the criteria for a recent renovation.
The property features a unique, private front courtyard pool and spa, a rare amenity in the College Park subdivision that perfectly complements the mid-century modern aesthetic.
Meticulously maintained with a high-end kitchen remodel, vaulted ceilings, and updated windows and doors, offering a move-in ready experience with classic architectural appeal.
The thoughtfully enclosed breezeway adds a sun-drenched dining room and a dedicated indoor laundry/mudroom, significantly improving the home's flow and utility over the original design.
At 1,522 square feet, the home is relatively compact, which may be a drawback for growing families or buyers requiring a dedicated home office.
The list price of $1,595,000 reflects a high price per square foot, which may challenge buyers looking for more interior volume at this specific price level in Costa Mesa.
This meticulously-maintained and upgraded College Park Lido plan with courtyard pool and spa is available for the first time in 50 years! When College Park was built in the late 1950s, its developers touted "every home combines luxury with live-ability!" Julius Shulman photographed the models for House & Home magazine and a billboard on Harbor Blvd. boasted "The Happiest People Live in College Park". The Lido plan originally had a breezeway between the home and garage. Savvy owners have enclosed the breezeway for additional living space, and these owners did just that, adding a sun-drenched dining room that opens to the pool, and bonus indoor laundry room / mudroom between garage and living spaces. This 3 bed / 2 bath home now has 1,522 sq. ft. The kitchen was expanded and opened up, and retains its flawless appearance following a high-end remodel a few years ago. The vaulted ceilings give the home volume and add to its mid-century modern appeal. Wood floors, updated windows and doors, and a two-sided fireplace round out the list of attractive features of this turn-key home. Most homeowners elect to add a few personal changes over time, but this home is move-in ready. At last count, there's only one other home in College Park with a pool in an enclosed front courtyard. With the private back yard still available for gatherings and gardening, this front yard fun zone is right where you want it; facing the dining area, kitchen, and front bedrooms. You probably already know about all of the benefits of College Park living, but if not, here are some highlights: walking distance to the OC Fairgrounds, abundant retail and dining options around the corner, easy freeway access, and a short drive to the 17th St. and on to the beach, to name a few. Why shouldn't you be the next owners to make memories in this charming home for the next several decades?!
