211 Monte Vista, Costa Mesa

Completely re-imagined, renovated and expanded, this charming Eastside Costa Mesa home offers the ambiance of a beach bungalow and a dash of Key West flair in a decidedly upscale single-story design. Constructed with meticulous attention to detail, the residence tells a story of skilled craftsmanship and refined aesthetics that unfolds throughout its nearly 2,761 s.f. Reduced down to the studs and foundation and rebuilt with the highest-quality construction techniques and materials, the virtually brand-new home harmonizes with its quiet neighborhood surroundings and offers enviable curb appeal. Two separate living areas enable the design to meet the needs of a variety of lifestyles, including singles and couple, families with children, multi-generational situations, and those who seek the advantages of adding an ADU. Four bedrooms and 3.5 baths include an en-suite guest bedroom and two that share a bath. The expansive primary suite exudes sophistication in approximately 500 s.f., allowing more than enough room for a large walk-in closet, and an opulent bath with rift-sawn white oak cabinetry, two sinks, stone countertops and designer tilework. Two white oak Dutch doors and large windows create an indoor/outdoor vibe that complements all living areas. An enormous 800-square-foot great room hosts a gourmet-caliber kitchen with quartz countertops, waterfall island, custom cabinetry with glass uppers, a farm sink, and Thermador appliances including a built-in refrigerator and a wine cooler. The great room flows to a dining area and a family room with linear fireplace, while the separate living room is warmed by a handsome herringbone-style fireplace. Barn doors slide away to reveal a home office, and sliding glass doors lead to a backyard trellis-covered patio and built-in stainless steel BBQ. Designer elements are led by high ceilings with tongue-and-groove finish in most rooms, solid French oak flooring throughout, high-end lighting and plumbing fixtures, Emtek door hardware, terrazzo flooring in one bath, and dramatic 3,000 pound solid-wood beam spanning the great room ceiling. Behind the scenes, new central air-conditioning, dual sound systems, and new plumbing and electrical systems are featured, while a large designer laundry room includes a new LG washer and dryer set, Ring Elite system and the two-car garage boasts epoxy flooring and a $10,000 solid-panel door. Grounds extend about 7,500 s.f. and display new and mature landscaping with lighting.
