This is the one that gets you in the door. A 3-bedroom opportunity in Costa Mesa — under $900K — with the modern updates today’s buyers expect and the space you actually need. This refreshed townhome delivers the clean, current aesthetic everyone is looking for: fresh paint in on-trend tones, beautiful laminate flooring, recessed lighting, crisp white cabinetry, and sleek modern interior doors with frosted glass accents that add just the right edge. It feels light, bright, and move-in ready — without the renovation headache. Upstairs, you’ll find two oversized bedrooms. Downstairs, the third bedroom flexes effortlessly as a guest room, office, or creative space, opening directly to the private patio. The open living and dining areas also flow seamlessly outdoors, creating easy indoor-outdoor living. A cozy front porch faces the greenbelt, offering that rare, charming community vibe that’s hard to find. Additional highlights include central air conditioning and heating, a finished two-car garage with epoxy flooring and close down screen door to serve as a playroom or man cave with air flow, plenty of overhead storage in the garage, a new electrical panel, and all appliances included (refrigerator, washer, and dryer). The community amenities at Monticello Townhomes elevate the lifestyle: two pools, two spas, a clubhouse, mature landscaping, and character you just don’t get in newer cookie-cutter builds. You’ll also receive a parking permit for a third space (first-come, first-served). Water and trash are included in the HOA. VA and FHA offers are welcome. The location is hard to beat for the price. You’re minutes from the beach, the fairgrounds, John Wayne Airport, OCC, Vanguard University, dining, shopping, and major freeways. Talk about coastal convenience at its best. This home presents a move-in-ready, modernized, and smart entry into one of Orange County’s most desirable cities. Whether it’s your stepping stone, long-term hold, or forever home, it’s an opportunity worth seeing. Come experience why so many people choose to call Monticello “home.”
