Some of the best things about a home don’t come from what’s inside four walls. They come from where those walls stand. Welcome to 2021 Swan Drive, tucked into Mesa Verde’s Lower Birds neighborhood and sitting in one of the most coveted locations in all of Costa Mesa. Backing directly to Fairview Park with a private gate from the backyard, this is the kind of setting most buyers only dream about. Step outside and you’re greeted by sweeping sunset views over one of Costa Mesa’s most beloved open spaces. Views you can also take in from inside the home, thanks to a south-facing orientation that floods the living spaces with natural light throughout the day. Built in 1966 and offered by the original owners, this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home spans approximately 2,482 square feet on a generous 8,125 square foot lot. Vaulted ceilings give the home an open, airy feel, while two separate living areas offer real flexibility for how you want to live. Add in a pool and a 2-car garage, and the foundation here is strong. This home is ready for its next chapter, and that’s what makes it such an exciting opportunity. For the buyer who has been searching for the right location, the right lot, and the right street, this is the one you’ve been waiting for. The bones are here. The lot size is here. The pool is here. And most importantly, the location is here. And that’s something you simply cannot build. Swan Drive is one of those streets that Mesa Verde locals know well. Very little traffic, incredible pride of ownership throughout the neighborhood, and the kind of quiet, established feel that makes you want to slow down and stay a while. Neighbors take care of their homes here, and it shows. Fairview Park is your extended backyard. Literally. With direct gate access from the property, you’re steps away from miles of walking and biking trails, open green space, and some of the best sunset views in all of Orange County. You also have easy access to the Santa Ana River Trail, connecting you to Newport Beach and Huntington Beach by foot or bike. It’s the kind of daily lifestyle upgrade that no renovation can replicate. Whether you’re envisioning a full remodel to create your forever home or looking to add serious value in one of Mesa Verde’s most desirable pockets, 2021 Swan Drive is a rare opportunity. Homes in this location, on this street, with park access and these views simply do not come up often. Come see it for yourself.
