A peaceful, easy feeling washes over you the moment you arrive. It’s the kind of place where The Eagles could have written their lyrics. 1697 Labrador Drive is a lovely corner lot retreat in the highly sought-after Mesa Verde Island Streets. Thoughtfully upgraded and beautifully maintained, this home offers comfort, charm, and natural light throughout. Inside the main home, luxury vinyl flooring creates a warm, cohesive feel, complemented by stone tile in the bathrooms for a touch of timeless elegance. Three perfectly placed fireplaces add character and cozy ambiance, while a bountiful collection of windows and strategically added sun tunnels fill the home with uplifting natural light. The guest bathroom has been meticulously designed with a spacious shower and a serene soaking tub offering a spa-like escape for unwinding at the end of the day. Adding exceptional versatility, the property includes a well-planned ADU, offering unlimited potential for additional income, private guest accommodations, or a comfortable retreat for teens or extended family. Its layout integrates seamlessly with the main home while still providing privacy and independence. Set in one of Costa Mesa’s most desirable neighborhoods, this home blends thoughtful upgrades, flexible living spaces, and an unmistakable sense of calm, a place where life simply feels easier.
