229 Del Mar Ave Costa Mesa, CA 92627

This is the ultimate retreat! From the moment you step through the gate, a wave of tranquility washes over you. It's a serene oasis that's truly beyond words. Let me paint a picture of this exceptional property for you. Spanning just over 11,250 square feet, the lot offers access from both Del Mar Ave and Fairway Drive. The entire space is expertly designed with beautiful hardscaping and landscaping that pays meticulous attention to every detail. Imagine outdoor dining areas, cozy conversation spots, gentle fountains, raised garden beds, and mature trees thoughtfully positioned across the expansive grounds. The residence has been completely renovated, stripped down to the studs, expanded to 2,624 square feet, and expertly rebuilt by the current owners as their ideal residence. The timeless layout and design of the home promotes both a sense of openness and inviting privacy. At the heart of the home is the kitchen, featuring dramatic vaulted ceilings, top-of-the-line built-in appliances, and a stunning single slab Calcutta kitchen island. There are three additional living areas: a living room with vaulted ceilings and custom built-ins, a family room that looks out onto the outdoor patio and sprawling backyard, and a dining area that opens up with double French doors. Each of the three secondary bedrooms is filled with natural light, one of which is a suite complete with an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. The other two bedrooms share a private bath, and there's a convenient powder room for guests. Upstairs, you'll find the primary suite, complete with a luxurious ensuite bathroom that features a walk-in closet, a spacious soaking tub, dual vanities, and a separate shower. There's a small office that can be closed off from the primary bedroom and offers additional closet space. Step outside onto the fantastic deck that overlooks the park-like backyard. Additional structures not included in the home's size comprise a garage, a mud room/laundry room, and a 350 +/- square foot studio space. Recent improvements made in 2025 include a new central air conditioning, a newly poured concrete driveway and gate, a refresh of the landscaping and hardscaping, and a full property fumigation in 2023. This remarkable eastside property stands peerless. While the pictures are breathtaking, they can't fully convey the emotion and experience of visiting this home in person.
