The kitchen features professional-grade stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, and modern cabinetry. All bathrooms, including the master suite, are extensively updated with contemporary fixtures, tiling, and vanities, appearing virtually new.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2120, other record living area = 1985. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Original Construction Year: Built in 1979, despite extensive remodeling, the underlying structure's age might lead to potential concerns about non-cosmetic infrastructure for some buyers seeking newer construction.
Standard Lot Size: The 4,900-square-foot lot, while functional, is not exceptionally large for a luxury home in Irvine, which might limit appeal for buyers desiring more expansive outdoor space or greater privacy.
Lack of Premium Views: While the property has a view, it is described as 'Neighborhood' and does not offer more desirable premium views such as ocean, city lights, or mountains, which can be a significant draw in the Irvine market.
