Tucked into the effortlessly cool enclave of Costa Mesa, 1096 Tulare is where Spanish modern architecture meets laid-back SoCal living with just the right amount of design-forward edge. Step inside and you'll find light-drenched, spacious bedrooms that feel more boutique retreat than suburban standard, complete with generous walk-in closets that actually live up to the name. The kitchen leans functional-chic, featuring double sinks (because one is never enough) and a layout that flows seamlessly into the heart of the home. But let's talk upgrades, because this place doesn't just look good, it is good. A new electrical panel (and 220V garage ready for your eco friendly cars), new HVAC system, and a new composition shingle roof (on the back half of the house) mean the heavy lifting is already done. Add in fully paid off solar, and you've got efficiency with a side of smug satisfaction. Outside, the vibe continues with over $40,000 poured into the pool"”now a true backyard centerpiece surrounded by an entertainers yard and a covered patio that practically begs for long dinners and late night hangs. Location-wise, you're right in the sweet spot. You're minutes from the curated chaos of The LAB Anti-Mall and the industrial-chic charm of The CAMP. Retail therapy? South Coast Plaza has you covered. When it comes to food, you're orbiting local legends like Habana and Hana re Sushi, so your weekend plans basically make themselves. In short: 1096 Tulare isn't just a home, it's a whole mood. Thoughtfully upgraded, design-conscious and perfectly placed in one of Orange County's most creatively charged pockets.
