Some homes just feel special the moment you step inside—and this is one of them. Nestled on the beloved 400 block of one of Eastside Costa Mesa’s most cherished streets, this picture-perfect cottage is the quintessential Eastside gem: full of heart, character, and endless potential.
Offering nearly 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space on a generous 7,500 sq ft lot, the home features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a vaulted-ceiling great room that serves as the soul of the home—where natural light pours in and memories are waiting to be made. From the charming front porch and grassy front yard to the spacious backyard lined with a lush privacy hedge, there’s a nostalgic, almost secret-garden feel to the entire property.
Tucked away on the sunny side of the street, the home captures the afternoon glow beautifully, making each room feel warm and welcoming. The alley access adds convenience with a rear-facing garage, while the unbeatable location offers walkability to Mariners Elementary, Mariners Park, and all the local favorites on 17th Street.
A rare opportunity to own a true Eastside original, this home invites its next owner to embrace the charm that’s already here—and to add their own story to its legacy
