This is the one you have been waiting for...your chance to bring this rare find back into mint condition. With so many possibilities that await your vision. The "best" floorplan in the Upper Birds Tract has been expanded for the larger work/live/ lifestyles of today. Just steps to the local park with pickle ball, basketball and play areas for you and the pets. The upstairs has a mini view of the lake and golf course. The closet space is tremendous, and the bedrooms are all generous in size. The floorplan can be opened up even more, and the current owner has put up privacy walls inside that can be remodeled. There is so much storage and closet space...you have to experience it for yourself. Kitchen opens up to large family area with fireplace. The formal dining area is supersized and can hold all those get togethers that create memories. Lots of light streams in and the potential here is endless. This one is a diamond in the rough. Mesa Verde is home to some of the best cafes and coffee shops in Costa Mesa. Bike path to the beach and parks are all right here. One of the most sought after streets in the area>
