The home

About 985 Begonia Avenue

Located in the heart of Costa Mesa’s Greenbrook neighborhood, this exceptional single level modern retreat blends privacy, elevated design, and seamless indoor–outdoor living. This contemporary 3-bed, 3-bath home has been reimagined with a refined European aesthetic, seamless indoor–outdoor flow, and a rare sense of privacy throughout. Every space has been thoughtfully designed, beginning with an open-concept layout that features vaulted ceilings, a sleek gas fireplace, designer lighting, and wide-plank hardwood flooring. The kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home, showcasing Thermador appliances, custom cabinetry, a waterfall island, and panoramic glass doors that open to the outdoor living spaces. Multiple bi-folding walls throughout the property create a continuous connection between the interior and exterior, allowing natural light and fresh air to define the experience of the home. The primary suite offers a resort-like atmosphere with powered shades, a custom walk-in closet, a spa-inspired bath with towel warmer, and direct access to the private courtyard. Just outside, a heated plunge pool with a striking stone waterfall wall sets the tone for relaxation, complemented by multiple lounge areas, a dining terrace, and low-maintenance landscaping with modern finishes. An additional highlight is the covered outdoor kitchen, featuring a Mont Alpi BBQ, pizza oven, and generous prep and dining space. This area connects effortlessly with the interior, creating an ideal environment for daily living as well as gatherings of varying size. Additional upgrades include whole-house water filtration, a tankless water heater, Legrand designer switches, motorized window shades, smart thermostat, security system with cameras and lighting, solar panels, an epoxy-finished garage with EV charging capability, custom garage cabinetry, and gated parking with room for recreational or utility vehicles. Every element of this home has been approached with intention, resulting in a modern coastal retreat that balances privacy, function, and elevated design in one of Costa Mesa’s most convenient neighborhoods with access to world class dining, shopping, parks, and major transportation routes. Homes with this level of intention and modern design seldom become available in Costa Mesa, making this a rare offering within the Greenbrook neighborhood.
