1596 SE Skyline Dr

This extraordinary single-level, Santa Barbara–inspired estate is perfectly poised on a fully usable, one-acre lot in the heart of North Tustin with an increasingly rare offering of space, privacy, and timeless architectural beauty. Set on a private road, a serene walking path leads you to a gated courtyard entry, immediately signaling the tranquility, charm, and indoor/outdoor living that define this exceptional residence. Inside, the foyer unfolds into a warm yet sophisticated family room, where a wood-burning fireplace, exposed beam ceilings, and dual sets of French doors seamlessly connect the home to its expansive backyard. A spectacular remodeled kitchen is an exquisite culinary haven appointed with marble countertops, a farmhouse sink, breakfast bar, wet bar, and dramatic vaulted, beamed ceiling. A full suite of premium appliances includes a Dacor refrigerator and gas cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, Miele oven and convection microwave, and a beverage refrigerator, providing the ultimate experience for cooking, entertaining, and gathering. French doors open the kitchen to the front courtyard, while the adjoining living room, with its gas fireplace and additional backyard access, creates an effortless flow for everyday living and celebrations. The thoughtful single-level layout includes a dedicated left wing with four gracious bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the opposite end of the home, a private ensuite bedroom is complete with a shower-over-tub, walk-in closet, nearby laundry room, and powder room, and provides a flexible retreat for guests, an office, or multigenerational living. Elevated design details are showcased throughout, including plaster walls, white oak and Spanish tile flooring, and cordless window coverings. Outdoors, the magic continues on a raised Spanish-tile terrace overlooking the expansive entertainer’s yard, with a sparkling pool and spa, bocce ball court, meandering walking paths, planter beds, a generous grassy lawn, and lush mature landscaping. A two-car garage with additional storage further enhances the property’s functionality.
