About 917 Helena
Welcome to 917 Helena Circle, a beautifully reimagined single-story residence in Costa Mesa that perfectly captures the essence of light and bright California living. From the moment you arrive, the meticulous curb appeal and manicured landscaping set the stage for a home that has been cared for with immense pride. Step inside to find an expansive, open-concept floor plan bathed in natural light, where crisp white wainscoting and a fresh, neutral palette create an airy atmosphere that feels both modern and inviting. The seamless transition between the formal living and dining areas—featuring rich hardwood-style flooring—and the casual family room with its cozy brick fireplace and elegant travertine-style tile makes this home as functional as it is stylish. At the heart of the home lies a gourmet kitchen equipped with warm wood cabinetry, premium granite countertops, and high-end stainless steel appliances. Whether you are hosting a formal dinner under the wrought-iron chandelier or enjoying a quiet morning in the breakfast nook, the indoor-outdoor flow is effortless. Large sliding glass doors lead out to a private, shaded patio and backyard oasis, perfect for alfresco dining or weekend entertaining. Along with the easy to notice modern finishes, the roof is new as of August 2025 and the plumbing has had a PEX re-pipe. Situated on a friendly circle, this home offers the peace of a retreat while remaining just minutes from Costa Mesa's world-class shopping, dining, and coastal amenities. This is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey property where every detail has been polished to perfection.
