About this home

This is the one you have been waiting for...your chance to bring this rare find back into mint condition. With so many possibilities that await your vision. The "best" floorplan in the Upper Birds Tract has been expanded for the larger work/live/ lifestyles of today. Just steps to the local park with pickle ball, basketball and play areas for you and the pets. The upstairs has a mini view of the lake and golf course. The closet space is tremendous, and the bedrooms are all generous in size. The floorplan can be opened up even more, and the current owner has put up privacy walls inside that can be remodeled. There is so much storage and closet space...you have to experience it for yourself. Kitchen opens up to large family area with fireplace. The formal dining area is supersized and can hold all those get togethers that create memories. Lots of light streams in and the potential here is endless. This one is a diamond in the rough. Mesa Verde is home to some of the best cafes and coffee shops in Costa Mesa. Bike path to the beach and parks are all right here. One of the most sought after streets in the area>

Condition Rating
Poor

Built in 1972, this property is over 50 years old. The listing description explicitly states it's a 'diamond in the rough' and needs to be brought 'back into mint condition,' indicating substantial rehabilitation is required. While the kitchen features a high-end Viking range and white cabinets, the overall style, including dated terracotta-like floor tiles, dark countertops, and bright green carpets in other areas, is significantly outdated. The presence of 'privacy walls inside that can be remodeled' suggests further layout and structural work. This property requires significant investment to modernize and update major components, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.

Prime Location & Community: Situated in the highly sought-after Mesa Verde Estates I (Upper Birds Tract), known for its desirable community, cafes, and coffee shops, and considered one of the most sought-after streets.
Exceptional Floorplan & Expansion Potential: Features the 'best' expanded floorplan in the tract, designed for modern work/live lifestyles, with significant potential for further customization and opening up spaces.
Abundant Space & Storage: Offers generously sized bedrooms and tremendous closet and storage space throughout the property, catering to modern living needs.
Proximity to Recreation & Amenities: Located just steps away from a local park with pickleball and basketball courts, and provides direct access to bike paths leading to the beach and other parks.
Partial Lake & Golf Course Views: The upstairs provides a desirable 'mini view' of the lake and golf course, enhancing the property's aesthetic appeal.

Cons

Extensive Renovation Required: Described as a 'diamond in the rough' needing to be brought 'back into mint condition,' indicating a significant investment in renovation and upgrades will be necessary.
Dated Construction & Systems: Built in 1972, the property is over 50 years old, suggesting potential for outdated systems, finishes, and deferred maintenance requiring modernization.
Interior Layout Modifications Needed: The presence of 'privacy walls' installed by the current owner implies an unconventional interior layout that will likely need to be reconfigured or removed by a new owner.
