More Insights

Built in 1982 (44 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1982 (42 years ago), has undergone significant cosmetic updates including solid hardwood flooring, recessed LED lighting, a kitchen with granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry, and modern stainless steel appliances, and updated bathrooms with contemporary vanities and a walk-in shower in the primary. These updates are attractive and well-maintained, making the interior move-in ready from a visual standpoint. However, the listing explicitly notes the property's age as a potential weakness, implying that major systems (plumbing, electrical, roof) could be original and require future maintenance or replacement. Crucially, there is an 'absence of Central Air Conditioning,' which is a substantial missing feature for a property in Irvine and would require a significant upgrade. While the cosmetic renovations are good, the age of the underlying structure and systems, coupled with the lack of central AC, prevents it from reaching a 'Good' score, as 'Good' implies major systems are within their expected lifespan and no immediate significant renovations are required. This property is aged but maintained with regular upkeep and occasional updates, and major components are functional but show signs of being outdated or missing (like AC), aligning it with a 'Fair' condition.

About this home

Rare south-facing single-story home on an oversized lot, offering excellent natural light and exceptional outdoor space. Boasting over 1,600 square feet of living space, this well-designed residence features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, ideal for comfortable family living. Upon entry, you are welcomed by a beautiful atrium that fills the home with light and creates an inviting sense of openness. The spacious living room and separate dining area showcase high ceilings and benefit from abundant sunlight throughout the day. A classic red brick fireplace anchors the sitting area, providing warmth, character, and a perfect place to relax. The home features solid hardwood flooring throughout and is enhanced by recessed LED lighting, creating a bright, clean, and modern ambiance. Windows throughout are accented with plantation shutters, offering both privacy and natural light control. The functional kitchen is equipped with granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry, modern appliances, a serving counter with barstool seating, and a large single-basin sink—well suited for everyday cooking and entertaining. The generously sized primary bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with dual vanity sinks, a walk-in shower, dual closets, and direct access to the atrium, offering a private and peaceful retreat. Built-ins throughout the home are complemented by custom moldings, clean lines, and fresh interior finishes. Outdoors, the expansive backyard is a rare find, providing ample space for entertaining, gardening, play, or future possibilities. Homes offering this combination of large lot size, single-story layout, and south-facing orientation are increasingly hard to find. Located in the highly desirable Woodbridge community, residents enjoy resort-style amenities including two lakes with sand beach lagoons, boating and fishing, 20 pools, over 20 tennis courts, parks, playgrounds, a splash pad, a fitness course, and a wide variety of family-friendly activities. Award-winning schools within walking distance further enhance the appeal. No Mello Roos and low HOA dues complete this exceptional opportunity to own a truly special home.

Fair
The property, built in 1982 (42 years ago), has undergone significant cosmetic updates including solid hardwood flooring, recessed LED lighting, a kitchen with granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry, and modern stainless steel appliances, and updated bathrooms with contemporary vanities and a walk-in shower in the primary. These updates are attractive and well-maintained, making the interior move-in ready from a visual standpoint. However, the listing explicitly notes the property's age as a potential weakness, implying that major systems (plumbing, electrical, roof) could be original and require future maintenance or replacement.
