Perched on the canyon rim in Westside Costa Mesa's coveted Freedom Homes, The Sunset House is a light-filled, single-level residence that perfectly blends creative expression, modern function, and the laid-back coastal lifestyle-just 2 miles from the beach. Affectionately known as "The Sunset Factory," this home is owned by an artist and thoughtfully designed to capture light, inspire creativity, and celebrate connection. Skylights, solar tubes, and expansive windows flood the interiors with natural light throughout the day, while magical canyon sunsets cast a golden glow across the space each evening.

The great room with a sleek 42" gas fireplace offers unobstructed canyon views-ideal for entertaining or unwinding in style. The backyard is a private sanctuary, framed by mature landscaping and open sky, with peekaboo ocean views, an outdoor fireplace, built-in grill, Meyer lemon tree, and ample space for al fresco dining. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet sunset, this is a yard made for moments. Luxury upgrades throughout include: Graff and Kallista fixtures in the primary bath, California Faucets and Duravit toilets in both bathrooms, Wide-plank flooring, solid-core doors, curated lighting, Upgraded 200 Amp electrical panel + subpanel, New PEX plumbing, Sunrun solar system with kilowatt exchange, Dual-zone HVAC with AprilAire HEPA filtration + UV purification, Oversized 2-car garage with 10' ceilings, attic access, and infrared sauna. Originally remodeled in 2005 and fully reimagined in 2013, the home is as functional as it is inspiring-perfect for artists, creatives, families, and entertainers. Located on a peaceful cul-de-sac with direct access to 35-acre Canyon Park, you're surrounded by nature yet just a short stroll to popular restaurants, cafes, and shops. And when the ocean calls, hop on your bike-Newport Beach is minutes away. The Sunset House is more than a home-it's a lifestyle, a sanctuary, and a creative retreat unlike anything else on the market. Welcome to The Sunset Factory.
