Tucked into the heart of Eastside Costa Mesa, this one's got a story"”and a vibe you feel the second you walk through the gated entry courtyard. Originally built in 1958 and relocated to its current lot in the mid-60s, this home blends classic mid-century character with an easy, beachy lifestyle that just works. Inside, it's all about warmth and natural light. Original Douglas fir floors run throughout, professionally refinished and sealed in a natural stain. Big, original windows frame the private courtyards and grassy yard and keep everything feeling open, bright, and connected. At the heart of the home is a seriously cool curved original brick fireplace with a built-in concrete bench"”equal parts conversation piece and cozy hangout spot. A pitched roofline brings in natural light to the west-facing bedrooms, while south and southwest exposure fills the living areas and primary suite with warm, golden light all day long. The flow is easy: French doors open out to a large deck and spacious backyard made for slow mornings, afternoon hangs, or hosting friends after a beach day. Out front, a 60-year-old California pepper tree sets the tone, and the courtyard entry adds just the right amount of privacy and additional entertaining space. Upgrades since 2022 include new exterior paint, new baths, new Siemens main electrical panel, additional electrical garage sub-panel with EV charging, new recessed lighting and ceiling fans, new Carrier slim profile AC unit and furnace system, new baseboards, new solid core interior doors, and new landscaping. The bathrooms have been fully remodeled and lean into that relaxed California feel with warm tones, and clean, coastal finishes including Kohler polished nickel fixtures & deep shower/tub combo, Moroccan tile, & spacious glass-enclosed shower with penny tile underfoot. An oversized garage provides additional flex space options and features new epoxy floors, high beamed ceiling with ample overhead storage, side-mount garage openers, and new birch paneling, making it as functional as it is good-looking. And the location? Right where you want to be. Close to Eastside's elementary schools, a short stroll to the Upper Newport Bay nature preserve & trails, just minutes to endless shops and restaurants on 17th Street, and a quick ride to Newport's best beaches. 275 Cecil Place is the kind of home where you kick off your shoes, find a peaceful spot indoors or out, and stay awhile. Not to be missed!
