About This Home

As of April 2022

Want that brand-new-feeling? Then you'll love this completely renovated single-story home in North Tustin. Situated on a desirable corner lot, this 4 bed/4 bath home welcomes you with a wow-factor Dutch door allowing natural light and fresh air to freely flow through the house. A wide foyer opens to the living room warmed by a fireplace with a custom mantle matching the gorgeous solid-wood barn door. The separate, oversized family room helps make this the perfect house for entertaining with plenty of space for everyone. Walk through a second barn door to find the fourth bedroom and bathroom as well as an inviting office and study space. The addition, completed in 2019, opens to the pool and can serve as a second master, private guest suite, or even a game room—the possibilities are endless! The gorgeous open-concept chef's kitchen leads to a fireside dining room and the newly added covered outdoor living space overlooking the pool and providing the perfect setting for dining al fresco and enjoying the breathtaking Orange County sunsets. Upgrades galore are found throughout this beautiful property starting with the professionally landscaped exterior to the water-resistant, wide-plank flooring, extraordinary lighting, ceiling fans, custom baseboards and energy-efficient windows. Four sets of French doors in the home add warmth and personality as do the well thought out features including the entertainer's bar, Italian tile accent wall and custom floating shelves and vanities. A separate bath/laundry room is just off the kitchen in the attached two-car garage and a detached one-car garage has been converted to a gym complete with shelving and padded flooring. Outside, there is a perfect space for a boat or small RV. Meticulously cared for and maintained, this freshly-painted residence boasts a newer 30-year composite shingle roof, solar panels and clapboard exterior. Life here is made easier with modern smart home conveniences such as a Nest thermostat, Nest doorbell and timed irrigation with rain sensor. Live near award-winning schools like Foothill High: the only school in the Tustin Unified School District to offer the International Baccalaureate program. Designed for indoor/outdoor entertaining, this gem is a one-of-a-kind that must be seen.
