About This Home

As of December 2023

~Check out the video tour~ Welcome to your dream home in a charming neighborhood, tucked away on a private cul-de-sac. This beautifully remodeled and updated ranch-style one-story home is an absolute gem, offering the perfect blend of comfort and entertainment. 4 Bedrooms with Optional 5th Bedroom. The family room could be used as a bedroom, office or just as it is. Lots of options!

As you step onto the property, you'll be immediately captivated by the pristine landscaping and expertly hardscaped extra-large lot. The curb appeal is simply inviting, setting the tone for what lies within.

Inside, you'll discover a warm and welcoming atmosphere. All bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level, providing ease and convenience. The separate laundry room adds to the practicality of the home.

The heart of this home is the spacious family room, complete with a cozy fireplace, which opens up to a stunning backyard oasis. This indoor-outdoor connection is perfect for entertaining. Picture hosting gatherings with friends and family, whether it's a barbecue, a birthday party, or simply a tranquil evening under the stars.

Speaking of the backyard, it's an absolute paradise. A newer 7-seater above-ground spa beckons you to relax and unwind, while a built-in firepit provides the ideal spot for toasting marshmallows or sharing stories around the fire. With this exceptional outdoor space, your options for outdoor enjoyment are virtually limitless. Did I mention numerous fruit trees? The unique flat-shaped lot allows the opportunity to park an RV or store a boat/EV fast car charger in front of the home.

This is not just a home; it's a haven for making memories and enjoying the good life. Located in the popular Tustin Unified School District with the highly-acclaimed Arroyo Elementary boundary and within walking distance of Hewes Middle and Foothill High Schools.
