Rare 5-bedroom pool home on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Upper Birds of Mesa Verde, directly adjacent to Tanager Park and just moments from the Costa Mesa Country Club. Beautifully updated and offering approximately 3,005 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this home blends elevated entertaining with effortless California living. Natural light fills the open-concept main level, highlighted by wide-plank wire-brushed oak flooring, oversized windows, and plantation shutters throughout. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen combines timeless design with modern functionality, featuring crisp Shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, polished Carrera subway tile backsplash, and an expansive island designed for gathering. Premium appliances include a 48-inch five-burner range with griddle and double ovens, along with a built-in 42-inch counter-depth refrigerator. Retractable accordion doors open the home to a private resort-style backyard with a sparkling pool, multiple lounge and entertaining areas, and enhanced privacy—creating the ideal setting for gatherings, summer pool days, and relaxed evenings at home. The flexible floor plan offers five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, including three ensuite bedrooms across both levels and a spacious primary retreat overlooking the park with a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a frameless rain shower, and refined designer finishes. Extensive upgrades throughout include a centralized smart-home system controlling indoor and outdoor audio, pool features, and security, newer HVAC with A/C and Nest thermostat, newer electrical panel, WiFi optimization throughout, custom closet systems, electric Hunter Douglas shades, and abundant built-in storage. Solar enhances energy efficiency, while the 3-car garage includes an EV charger, Flow Wall organization system, and dedicated workspace. Combining location, design, and lifestyle, 2705 Starbird presents a rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated home in Mesa Verde’s coveted Upper Birds neighborhood.
