Property description
Welcome to this stunning 5-bedroom, 3-bath Orange County retreat where resort-style living meets everyday comfort in one of Irvine's most sought-after neighborhoods. From the moment you step inside, soaring ceilings and sun-drenched living spaces exude warmth and sophisticated contemporary styling throughout this beautifully maintained 3,000 sq. ft. home. The heart of the home is a sleek, well-appointed kitchen featuring quartz counters, custom cabinetry, and a chef-inspired appliance suite — perfect for everything from casual family meals to elegant entertaining. A gracious living room anchored by a stunning ledger stacked stone fireplace flows effortlessly to the dining room, while a convenient downstairs bedroom and full bath offer ideal flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. Wide plank wood flooring, soaring ceilings, solid core doors, 5-inch baseboards, and newly installed energy-efficient windows speak to the quality of finishes found throughout. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with a spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, and a generous walk-in closet, while three additional bedrooms and a dedicated home office provide space and flexibility for every lifestyle. Step outside to your own private paradise — a breathtaking pool and spa framed by soaring palms, lush tropical landscaping, and elegant stone pillar accents with cascading water features, all flowing seamlessly to a generous covered patio where a pendant-lit dining area and built-in BBQ set the stage for unforgettable gatherings under the Southern California sky. Adding to the home's exceptional value, a fully owned solar panel system paired with a Tesla Powerwall battery delivers energy independence and meaningful utility savings, while a whole-home water filtration system ensures clean, purified water at every tap. Ideally located within walking distance to top-rated Bonita Canyon Elementary and nationally ranked University High School, and just minutes from the 405 and 73 freeways, with very low association dues and no Mello Roos tax, this meticulously maintained home truly represents the best of Orange County living.
