Welcome to 268 E Bay St. A coveted quiet street in eastside Costa Mesa surrounded by long term homeowners who are proud of their homes and their street. The stability of the neighborhood, coupled with the tremendous schools and walkable neighborhood are but a few of many attributes that sets this home apart. This light filled home was completely remodeled to the owners highest expectations as they had planned to be there for the next ten years, but other opportunities prevaled and this home is now for sale. Nothing was spared to elevate this home to the highest and finest standards. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, a visit to this home is worth many thousands, pictures alone cannot depict the quality of the improvements, these sellers spent over two years investing time and money into their project out of love for their home. The quality of the improvements is beyond impressive, Rohl fixtures, shower tiles that are independently fired so that each has a unique characteristic, dual fuel range and a split dual level dishwasher, so small loads aren’t wasteful, stunning herringbone laid engineered hardwood floors throughout. The thought and planning that went into this home is extraordinary, hardwood cabinets that provide natural beauty and the hidden pantry and appliance cabinet make it so there is no need for coffee makers, toasters and other kitchen necessities to sit on the counters, leaving the stunning, rare, honed marble counters and island highlighted by the skylight over the island to be clutter free for all to admire, stunning does not do this kitchen justice. Comfort and efficiency were paramount for these owners, they installed high efficiency mini split AC units and heating units so every room in the house can set at individual temperatures for their family or guests. Beyond the visually obvious there are additional upgrades, a whole house filtration system, on demand hot water heating, a 2026 upgraded electric panel, interior stacking washer and dryer, to name a few. Then step into the extremely private back yard, with a huge patio area for entertaining, multiple mature fruit trees including, avocado, lemon, lime, grapefruit and pomegranate. Sometimes a home comes on the market that is just better than the rest, this is your opportunity to be that buyer who can move into a home that they can just enjoy and feel the joy of inviting their friends and family to their home.
