$2,788,000

Located behind the guarded gates of one of Irvine’s most highly sought-after communities, Orchard Hills, this exquisitely finished 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home features over $400,000 in high-end upgrades. Enter through the front door and you are immediately greeted by an open-concept floor plan that offers everything you could desire. The living room is centered around a fireplace, making it the perfect spot for cooler nights, and flows seamlessly into the chef-inspired kitchen, the true heart of the home. No corners were cut in its design: granite countertops cover the waterfall island and full backsplash, real wood cabinetry extends to the ceiling, and top-of-the-line appliances include a six-burner KitchenAid range, stainless steel hood, dishwasher, built-in refrigerator/freezer, additional wine fridge, and a walk-in pantry. The main living space offers the ultimate indoor-outdoor experience, thanks to upgraded 90-degree sliding glass doors that open to a covered California room and private backyard with all the bells and whistles. A sunken fire pit with built-in seating, BBQ area, custom stone lighting fixture, and a professionally designed putting green are all surrounded by mature hedges, providing exceptional privacy from neighboring homes. The first floor also includes a separate dining area, powder bathroom, extra storage, and two of Irvine’s most desirable features: a private home office and a downstairs bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom. Upstairs, you are welcomed by a spacious loft, perfect for movie nights or a study area. The primary bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-size bed and overlooks the nearby park. The primary bathroom is filled with upgrades, including a soaking tub, stone countertops, upgraded tile flooring, a walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling tile work, real wood cabinetry, a private toilet room, and dual vanities. The primary closet is fully built out to maximize storage. Two additional upstairs bedrooms each feature their own bathrooms and added closet space. The garage has also been thoughtfully upgraded with epoxy flooring and a built-in water softener system. One of the home’s standout features is its location, just a one-minute walk to a nearby park and only minutes from additional parks offering pools and sport courts. All of this is set within one of Orange County's most highly sought-after school districts and just minutes from shopping, dining, entertainment, and travel conveniences.
