About 2036 Mandarin Drive

Tucked within Mesa Verde’s highly desirable Lower Birds neighborhood, 2036 Mandarin Drive offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and approximately 2,711 square feet of refined living space on a quiet interior lot. Thoughtfully updated, this home blends timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort, creating an inviting atmosphere throughout. The flexible floor plan features two spacious living areas—perfect for entertaining or relaxing—and a convenient ground-floor bedroom with an adjacent bath, ideal for guests or multigenerational living. The kitchen showcases custom cabinetry, stone countertops, a designer backsplash, and a range hood finished in Venetian plaster. Real oak accents, custom metal railings, solid white oak doors, and upgraded lighting bring warmth and cohesion to every space. The master suite features a generous walk-in closet and a beautifully finished bath with a soaking tub and dual shower heads. Additional improvements include updated plumbing and electrical systems, enhanced insulation, raised ceilings, recessed lighting, and an upstairs laundry closet for added convenience. The exterior features brick and board-and-batten siding, an oak and glass double entry door, and panoramic doors leading to the backyard. The color scheme is complemented by real oak wood posts and a custom wood garage door. Outdoor spaces were designed with concrete patios and pathways, improved drainage, lush landscaping, and a fully updated front yard irrigation system. Set within one of Costa Mesa’s most beloved communities, the Lower Birds neighborhood is known for its friendly atmosphere, single-entry layout with limited traffic, and the popular annual Fourth of July parade that brings neighbors together. Residents enjoy nearby access to Fairview Park, scenic trails, and the Mesa Verde Country Club, a premier private golf and social club located just moments away. 2036 Mandarin Drive captures the essence of Mesa Verde living—spacious, stylish, and ready to enjoy in a location that truly feels like home.
