About 288 E Bay Street

Reimagined through an extensive renovation and expansion by ACRE Homes, 288 East Bay Street offers 2,429 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space on a 6,000-square-foot lot. The 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence combines a redesigned first floor with 976 square feet of added living space, including an 825-square-foot second-story addition dedicated to the primary suite.

The main level centers around an open-concept great room, kitchen, and dining nook, with white oak wood flooring extending throughout the home. The fully remodeled kitchen features custom plain-sawn white oak cabinetry, travertine countertops, Thermador Professional appliances, and an accordion pass-through window. Seven-foot, three-panel sliding doors at the rear further connect the interior with the newly landscaped backyard.

Three bedrooms are located on the first floor, including one ensuite. Upstairs, the vaulted primary bedroom is complemented by a custom wood desk area, while the primary bath features custom plain-sawn white oak cabinetry, Nassau quartzite countertops, and Solana Concrete Collaborative tile. The ensuite and shared baths pair plain-sawn Douglas fir cabinetry with quartzite countertops and Zia terrazzo tile, while the powder bath features painted millwork, quartzite, and Zia mosaic tile.

Additional details include a custom iron stair railing, built-in stair bench, new windows and doors throughout, a custom-fabricated wood front door, new plumbing and electrical systems, a tankless water heater, and new HVAC components.

Outside, smooth stucco is complemented by real wood siding and a wood-paneled garage door, along with new hardscape, landscaping, concrete driveway, and real wood fencing.

Designed by Moire Studio, and built by Interior Habitat, 288 East Bay Street represents a comprehensive transformation where architecture, materials, and craftsmanship were considered from the ground up

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 7.03% (week of Sep 24, 2026); your rate will differ. A loan this size is typically a jumbo loan, which prices differently. Tax and insurance are modelled, not billed amounts; tax uses a typical Costa Mesa rate, excluding Mello-Roos. Verify all figures. Full assumptions and disclosures.
