This Village II light-filled rare detached residence showcases an inviting front courtyard and rear yard opening to an expansive HOA-maintained greenbelt — a rarely available open-air floor plan that seldom comes to market. A dramatic two-story, double-door entry creates an impressive arrival, leading to a home featuring two fireplaces, a formal living room, separate family room, and dedicated dining room. Recent upgrades include newer dual-pane windows and sliders, custom wood sliding doors to the patio and balcony, new furnace, new water heater, fresh interior paint, new flooring, new baseboards, new interior doors, updated bathrooms and new garage door. Need a main-level bedroom? The formal dining area offers potential to create a downstairs bedroom and full bath to suit evolving lifestyle needs. Community pool, spa, recreation center and tennis courts are just across the greenbelt, close but not too close. Ideally located within the highly sought-after University Park community, residents enjoy interconnected greenbelts, scenic walking paths, and open spaces that create a peaceful, walkable environment. The neighborhood provides convenient access within walking distance to Irvine Unified schools, nearby parks, Rancho San Joaquin Golf Course, the local library and near Oak Creek Golf Course, UC Irvine, Chapman University, Montessori programs, and major freeways and toll roads — all while maintaining a quiet residential setting. University Park has so much to offer and in high demand! Tennis enthusiasts will appreciate nearby community pool, spa and tennis courts, along with optional membership to the Racquet Club of Irvine, a well-established tennis and fitness facility featuring 28 outdoor courts, including clay and lighted courts, swimming pools, fitness amenities, coaching programs, dining, and an active social atmosphere. With pickleball added due to growing demand, the club offers a versatile racquet-sports lifestyle just moments from home.
