Property Description
690 Capitol Street, Costa Mesa, CA 92627 presents a single-story four-bedroom two-bath residence offering 1,176 square feet of living space on a 6,180 square-foot lot. Located in the desirable coastal region of Costa Mesa and within the boundaries of the Newport-Mesa Unified School District, this property appeals to buyers seeking value, hands-on improvement opportunities, or investors looking for upside.
Upon entry you'll find the main living area flows directly into the adjacent dining and kitchen zone, providing broad sight-lines throughout. The recently upgraded roof adds long-term security for the next owner. The kitchen awaits a cosmetic refresh and connects conveniently to the backyard. All four bedrooms share the two full baths, and the overall layout supports a clean renovation plan for upgrading finishes, fixtures and flooring.
Outside the backyard stands out with generous room for landscaping, play or outdoor living. A wide driveway accommodates multiple vehicles in addition to the attached garage. Off the back of the garage sits a stucco-finished storage area that offers flexible use and could be an ideal place for a workshop, hobby space or alternative configuration. The rear yard is enclosed by block walls, offering privacy and structure for outdoor living.
Location puts you near many of the amenities that define this area of Orange County. A short drive brings you to the beaches of Newport Beach and Huntington Beach, the shopping and dining mecca of South Coast Plaza, and the vibrant food scene around the 17th Street corridor in Costa Mesa. Proximity to parks, bike-friendly routes and local dining adds lifestyle appeal for both resident and investor buyers.
This home is offered without an HOA, making ownership straightforward and cost-effective. With its strong location, large lot and clear renovation potential, 690 Capitol Street offers an excellent opportunity for a buyer ready to apply upgrades and capture value in the heart of Costa Mesa.
