With authentic Cape Cod architecture, distinguished by prominent dormer windows and a broad covered entry porch, this custom Eastside Costa Mesa home appears to have graced its expansive site for generations. Surprisingly, it was recently rebuilt and expanded in 2020 and weaves rich architectural detail with high-end modern-day features. Indoors, principal rooms easily flow from one to the next. A dramatic foyer with multi-tiered staircase and 20' ceiling leads to both a formal living room with marble-finished fireplace, and a formal dining room with built-in buffet and illuminated glass cabinetry, creating ideal spaces for elegant entertaining. From late-night snacks to Sunday brunch with friends, the kitchen and family area enhances every activity with a spacious breakfast room that opens to the backyard via fold-away accordion doors. The height of culinary design is achieved in a beautiful kitchen that showcases quartz countertops, full mosaic-tile backsplash, a breakfast bar, custom soft-close cabinetry, a bay window over a farmhouse sink, a walk-in pantry, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances including a built-in refrigerator and a pro-caliber range. Approximately 4,306 square feet, a six-bedroom, five-bath design also offers a versatile upstairs loft, a mudroom/office with built-in desk and a Dutch door, a detached five-car garage, a game room and a library. Select secondary bedrooms host built-in desks, and the primary suite reveals a balcony, walk-in closet, soaking tub, separate shower and a sitting area. Craftsmanship is unparalleled and shines through crown moldings, wainscoting, custom window casings, custom built-ins, in-ceiling speakers, white oak flooring, and designer lighting, wall treatments and paint. Encompassing 7,659 square feet, grounds are highlighted by a large and private backyard with an expansive patio, low-maintenance landscaping and a built-in bar with grill. The home’s desirable location is less than one block from Mariners Elementary School, park and library, and moments from beaches, diverse shopping and dining destinations, theaters, markets and recreation.
