About This Home
Property is being offered via auction. Set behind the privacy of one of Irvine's most established and tightly held streets, this is not a remodel — it's a near-complete 2022 rebuild that reimagines a Ranch-neighborhood home as turnkey, contemporary new construction. Reframed from the studs out (only a single original kitchen wall and a small section of roof remain), the residence was expanded to an expansive 3,537 square feet of light-filled living space, with no HOA and no Mello-Roos — a rarity at this scale in central Irvine. A custom 6-foot mahogany entry door with satin-nickel hardware opens to a dramatic two-story living room, where soaring ceilings and oversized windows pull in natural light and frame tranquil street and treetop views. The open-concept chef's kitchen anchors the main level with Asheville Cotton white cabinetry, Crystalized Imperios nano countertops, a large center island, premium stainless steel appliances, and new Kohler fixtures — flowing seamlessly into a generous family room built for everyday gathering. A walk-in storage/pantry room adds practical luxury. The flexible floor plan offers 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, including a private main-floor en-suite with its own backyard access — ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or a home office. Upstairs, a redesigned staircase leads to four bedrooms highlighted by a dual primary-suite configuration; the main suite opens to an upgraded balcony with sweeping neighborhood views. Water-resistant laminate flooring runs throughout the ground level, and 22 owned solar panels deliver lasting energy efficiency. Outdoors, a low-maintenance turf backyard and a new laminate-glass Mesa garage door complete a polished, move-in-ready package. All within award-winning Irvine Unified (Deerfield Elementary, Venado Middle), minutes from the Irvine Spectrum, UCI, IVC, and effortless I-5 / I-405 access. Modern, sophisticated, and truly turnkey — a must-see
