Property Description

Welcome to The Cottage at 2650 Riverside Drive, a storybook single-family home nestled in Eastside Costa Mesa. This one-story, fully remodeled gem has been thoughtfully reimagined to provide the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and timeless design for modern living.

Spanning 1,981 square feet, this professionally designed home by renowned local designer Mindy Gayer offers 3 spacious bedrooms and 3 beautifully appointed bathrooms. From the moment you step onto the newly finished brick front porch, you'll be captivated by its inviting warmth. Inside, natural light floods the living room, where a cozy fireplace anchors the space, creating the perfect spot for relaxing or gathering with loved ones. A secondary fireplace in the family room adds an extra layer of comfort and ambiance, perfect for unwinding on cool evenings. Down the hall, two of the three bedrooms await, including the serene primary retreat, complete with a large marble shower and custom vanity.

The kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting a suite of GE Café appliances, a pebble ice machine, wine fridge, and two under-counter fridge drawers. A spacious island with bar stools invites casual dining or conversation while cooking, while the dedicated dining area features a built-in banquet with storage underneath—both functional and stylish. With its seamless blend of organic textures and traditional elements, the kitchen is as beautiful as it is practical. Throughout the home, beautiful hardwood floors add character and sophistication, while the open, airy layout connects the living spaces effortlessly—ideal for both daily living and entertaining.

Outside, you'll find yourself immersed in the vibrant Eastside Costa Mesa community. Whether it's to nearby parks, including the Back Bay Trail, grabbing a coffee or matcha at Coffee Dose, or exploring local boutiques and dining spots, this prime location offers something for everyone.
