Welcome to a unique opportunity in the heart of sought-after University Park. This rare, DETACHED, light-filled residence in Village II features an inviting private front courtyard and a large backyard open to an expansive HOA-maintained greenbelt. This rarely available open-air floor plan seldom comes to market. This home effortlessly blends comfort, style, and convenience. A dramatic two-story, double-door entry creates an impressive arrival, leading to a home featuring high ceilings, two fireplaces, a formal living room, a family room, and a dedicated dining room with a buffet cabinet. Recent upgrades include newer dual-pane windows and sliders, custom wood sliding doors to the patio and balcony, updated bathrooms, a refreshed kitchen, fresh interior paint, new flooring, new baseboards, new raised panel interior doors and hardware, new light fixtures, a new water heater, and a garage with fresh epoxied floors and a new roll-up garage door. Need a main-level bedroom? The formal dining room offers the potential to create a downstairs bedroom and full bath or a private office with a separate entrance to suit evolving lifestyle needs. Just across the greenbelt from this home, you can enjoy a resort-style pool, spa, tennis and more -- close but not too close -- all while maintaining a quiet residential setting. The local library, Montessori school, University Park Elementary School, and parks/playgrounds are all located just a short block away. University Park Community also offers several pools, parks, lush greenbelts, scenic walking paths, open spaces and nearby shopping, creating a peaceful, walkable environment. Just a short drive from many golf courses including Rancho San Joaquin Golf Course and Strawberry Farms Golf Club and to The Racquet Club of Irvine, UC Irvine, Chapman University, major freeways and toll roads. University Park has so much to offer and is in high demand due to its Award-Winning Schools and Resort like Amenities throughout! Enjoy proximity to everything Irvine is known for while coming home to your own private oasis.
