Property Description

Unfussy. Well-designed. Very Costa Mesa. Welcome to 1096 Tulare, a modern Spanish-style pool home in the heart of South Coast Metro. Four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and dual primary suites (with double closets in each) mean flexibility is built in--house guests, game room, or whatever your heart desires. The kitchen is a vibe: double sinks, a pot filler, 48" chef's range with a double oven and an open flow that works just as well for slow Sunday cooking as it does for hosting friends who “just stopped by.” Also included are paid off solar panels, a brand new HVAC system, smooth plastered walls on the interior, white oak wood flooring and fresh epoxy in the garage! Clean lines, warm finishes, and effortless indoor-outdoor energy keep everything feeling relaxed but intentional. Out back, the pool handles the staycation part. Up the street, South Coast Plaza covers shopping, dining, and last-minute plans, coffee runs, date nights and retail therapy all within easy reach. 1096 Tulare is ready for its next owners. Don't let this be the house "you almost bought".
