The home
About 1806 Samar Drive
This was the owners' DREAM come true home, and no expense was spared in bringing the highest quality materials and attention to every detail. NOT the flips that you see so often but a true work of art and professional design. Located in the best area of Mesa Verde....sit on your front porch and enjoy the park view. Here are just some of the highlights: Black & White custom French limestone Carrera tiles, hand-finished and tumbled to look like the reclaimed floors of France. All paint colors are Farrow and Ball. Walls on the fireplace and baths are Tadelakt finish a rare and 1000-year-old pure natural process and hand waxed giving a perfection that needs to be seen and felt. The kitchen is exceptional. Breathtaking Borghinni Marble and “White Leather” countertops and backsplash...you must see it. Custom cabinets have every inset imaginable by Rev A Shelf...be sure to explore all the custom features as you open the cabinet drawers. There is a complete compost station for easy cooking and recycling...Again, words don't begin to describe all the extras. The owners spent over $500k to create their vision of ease of living and quality. The pantry/dog-room/mudroom has its own bath and built-in dog kennel or storage areas. There has never been a laundry room like this, about 400 sq ft off the garage and kitchen. There is a walk-in closet in the master bedroom the size of most bedrooms. The coolest playroom or art studio is another bonus and one of the bedrooms is set up for use as a private office with a park view. All doors are Milgard, Windor, and Anderson. Allergies: all-new Benjamin Moore Natura 0 VOC paint and the only carpet is in the playroom with a felt pad. Entertainers rear yard with pool. Overlooking the pool is one of the coolest rooms we have ever seen with floor to ceiling fireplace, open beams, vaulted ceilings, and Club House style serving bar...light just fills the space and the party will start here. Very flowing floor plan with so much versatility. Check out all that the designer created, again this is not a flip. Amazing home on one of the best streets in Costa Mesa with so many of the other owners remodeling their forever homes.
