This Eastside TRIPLEX has been owned and cared for by the same couple for over 50 years! What a great opportunity for you to live in and enjoy the charming front cottage (2br/2ba) while generating income from the back duplex units (each 1br/1ba). Or perhaps this triplex is where your multi-generational/expanded family can all live close together, but also separately in each unit. Or perhaps this is your investment opportunity to buy and rent out all three desirable Eastside units... Whatever YOUR perfect scenario is, there are great features here. You will have ample parking: a 4 car garage (comprised of two separate & enclosed 2-car garages) and a full driveway, provide a total of 6 parking spots. All of the units have separate and gated back yard spaces, great for gatherings and pets. Nearly all of the windows in ALL of the cottages have been replaced in dual pane. Tankless water heaters were installed and termite clearance has already been completed. The sellers expanded the front 2br/2ba cottage and enclosed the front entry porch years ago, which adds to the square footage noted on the assessor's records. This expansion enlarged the primary bedroom which now boasts two closets, a sitting area, an en suite full bathroom and sliding doors that open to a quaint side patio. The front cottage feels very open and light with white plank ceilings, skylights and plenty of windows to bring the outdoors in. Tall fencing and lush, mature landscaping surround all of the units, providing each cottage with plenty of privacy. Both back duplex units have been updated with plank vinyl flooring and upgraded bathrooms and kitchens with stylish counters, cabinets, backsplashes and sinks. There are two outdoor laundry areas: One for the front cottage and the other for Units 252A & 252B to share. All units have been well maintained and upgraded throughout the years. Truly a unique offering in Eastside Costa Mesa.
