About This Home

As of July 2025

Welcome to 1503 Kensing Lane in North Tustin, a charming single-story home located on a private drive in a peaceful cul-de-sac setting. Nestled in the scenic hills and surrounded by mature privacy trees, this 4-bedroom, 4-bath home sits on nearly half an acre and offers 3,000 square feet “estimated” of vintage charm and endless potential. The bright living room features a large picture window with built-in bay seating, perfect for relaxing and taking in the serene surroundings, while the spacious dining room sets the stage for memorable gatherings. The kitchen is bright and open, featuring generous counter space, ample cabinetry, and a seamless flow into the great room, where a fireplace and dramatic walls of glass overlook the wrap-around deck and sparkling pool—ideal for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. Two private primary suites provide comfort and flexibility for guests or multigenerational living, while two additional bedrooms are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. A separate laundry room, conveniently located off the kitchen, adds to the home's thoughtful layout. There is a detached finished studio and bathroom backing to a two car garage and offering endless possibilities as an office, creative space, or future ADU. Located within walking distance to award-winning Tustin schools—Red Hill Elementary, Hewes Middle School, and Foothill High School—this home offers timeless character, a prime location, and an incredible opportunity for a new owner to update and make it their own. This is a textbook purchase opportunity to buy the least expensive home on the street, surrounded by multi-million dollar homes. This home is ready for updating, but needs about $75,000 in foundation repairs per bid from foundation contractor. For Buyers wanting to put their personal touch on a remodel, this is the one you have been waiting for! First Showing During Broker Preview, Wednesday, 5/14/25, 10-1 pm
