PREMIUM COURTYARD LOCATION! This rare and versatile 3-bedroom layout with one bedroom and full bath on the main level set this property apart — in a popular community that has a neighborhood feel. Unlike many competing condos and townhomes, this home may qualify for more favorable financing due to its classification as an attached single-family home, often allowing for lower interest rates and helping buyers stretch their budget further. This is a rare opportunity to own a newly refreshed 3-bedroom home in Costa Mesa under $900K, offering the space buyers want with the modern updates they expect. Just renovated and not lived in since the updates, the home features fresh paint in on-trend tones, laminate flooring, recessed lighting, crisp white cabinetry, and sleek modern interior doors with frosted glass accents. It feels light, bright, and truly move-in ready without the renovation stress. The layout is especially functional. Upstairs offers two generously sized bedrooms that are larger than many comparable units. On the main level, the third bedroom sits next to a full bathroom, ideal for guests, a home office, or flexible living. Situated on the courtyard, this home enjoys greenbelt views, added privacy, and access to a beautifully maintained communal outdoor space residents use like an extended yard — a premium location. A charming front porch is a peaceful place to relax that is also a special feature. This is also a dog-friendly community. The living and dining areas flow to the private patio, and drainage improvements enhance usability and peace of mind. Additional highlights include central A/C and heating, a finished two-car garage with epoxy flooring, overhead storage, and a pull-down screen door creating a flexible bonus space with airflow. This is a perfect workout area, playroom, hobby area, etc. A brand new electrical panel and included refrigerator, washer, and dryer add value. Monticello Townhomes offers two pools, two spas, a clubhouse, mature landscaping, and HOA coverage for water and trash, plus a third parking permit (first-come, first-served). The HOA includes water and trash plus FHA and VA offers are welcome. The clubhouse is a huge perk and can be rented by residents for events/parties too. Minutes from the beach, fairgrounds, airport, Orange Coast College, dining, shopping, freeways, Vanguard University and more - this is a perfect place to enjoy the coastal lifestyle!
