About this property
Located on an expansive corner parcel of more than 9,000 square feet in the heart of Eastside Costa Mesa, this meticulously maintained four-unit income property presents an exceptional investment opportunity. Once owned by local business icon Heinz Kaiser, the property showcases timeless architecture, a desirable unit mix, and generous outdoor living spaces that set it apart from typical multi-family offerings. Pride of ownership is evident throughout, with a favorable unit configuration consisting of one 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence, two 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom residences, and one exceptionally spacious studio. The primary residence at 147 Virginia Place offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, highlighted by an inviting front porch overlooking a beautifully hedged lawn, a spacious kitchen, an interior laundry room, a dedicated office area, direct access to an attached two-car garage, and a private rear patio ideal for outdoor entertaining. Situated above, 147½ Virginia Place features 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, complete with a recently remodeled shower, vaulted ceilings, wood flooring, a charming sleeping loft, and its own private laundry room. The studio residence is equally impressive, boasting stone flooring, a dramatic oversized fireplace, a kitchen with slab countertops, private laundry, and a covered outdoor entertaining area adjacent to an expansive grassy yard. Completing the property, 2209 Elden Avenue offers 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom with wood flooring, a private garage with its own laundry, additional off-street parking, and a secluded rear yard featuring a deck and generous lawn area. Ideally located just moments from award-winning schools, the shopping and dining destinations along 17th Street, and the world-renowned beaches of the Newport Peninsula, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained, income-producing property in one of Costa Mesa's most sought-after neighborhoods.
