Costa Mesa's earliest tract is rapidly becoming its most desirable. Cool ocean breezes, access to two nearby parks, and biking to the beach make Westside the best side! This "Freedom Home", as the builder named it back in '54, has been subtly expanded and updated over the years. It's now offered as a charming turnkey home ready for its next owner. Much of the heavy lifting has been completed, with an updated 200 amp electrical panel, newer central heating, AC, and ductwork, and an updated kitchen with shaker cabinets, quartz countertop with LED recessed lighting. An extended roofline creates a front porch and expanded front bedroom, and there's luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. In the park-like back yard, you've got multiple entertaining areas including a new raised shaded deck and a new spa. The rear yard is surrounded by solid block walls while a white picket fence captures a front yard for even more social settings. There's plenty of room to expand front or back, add a pool and ADU, or enjoy as-is. There's even a way to add a second bathroom under the existing roof - ask Matthew for more details. Finally, if you're a VA buyer, there could be a once in a lifetime opportunity to assume the seller's 2.25% rate!
