It doesn't get any better than this in Eastside Costa Mesa. This treasured residence was custom built with quality by Tom and Pat Place in 1957 as a family home. All alterations and improvements that were added since it's original construction were completed so that the home retained it's original integrity and charm. The Eastern side of the home was designed and intended for use by the parents, and includes a bathroom with shower stall and vintage ceramic tile. In the front of this side of this wing is a cozy den/library over looking the front yard & neighborhood. This room includes a closet and doors for privacy, and can be used as a fourth bedroom if required. The Western side of the floor plan was designed and used for children, guests, and a home office and hobby room. A second bathroom is located here also. In the center of the floor plan, the kitchen is open to and overlooks the living room and dining area and opens to the massive rear yard; an early 'great room' design that served the Place family very well. This versatile floor plan can be continued to be used as it exists or, with a lot size over 9,000 feet, the home can be expanded into a dream residence for the next family. This location is considered by many to be the premier residential enclave in all of the Eastside of Costa Mesa and, as a result, this property represents a landmark opportunity for a fortunate buyer to acquire and enjoy for generations. This home is worthy of your immediate attention.
