About This Home
Welcome to this exceptional 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Fordham model, offering 2,550 square feet of living space and recognized as the largest Fordham floor plan to be listed in University Park in recent history. Located on a cul-de-sac, this home combines size, thoughtful layout, and substantial recent improvements in one of Irvine’s most desirable communities.A permitted extension adds an oversized family room off the back of the kitchen and dining area, creating an ideal space for everyday living, entertaining, or gatherings. This expanded living area significantly enhances the functionality and openness of the home while maintaining a seamless flow from the heart of the house.The property features a fully owned 10kW solar system, a new roof installed approximately two years ago, upgraded electrical panel, new furnace, and new water heater.

A granite tile fireplace anchors the main living area, complemented by plantation shutters and window blinds. A convenient half bath downstairs offers easy guest access.Upstairs includes two oversized secondary bedrooms facing the front of the home, along with a spacious primary suite featuring a private retreat, dual vanities, walk-in shower, and a generous walk-in closet.Outdoor spaces are equally inviting with an enclosed front stone patio and a tiled backyard featuring a fountain, rose bushes, fruit trees, and a tall block wall for added privacy. The two-car garage offers additional under-stair storage.Just minutes from the association park, pool, and tennis courts, and a short walk to University Park Elementary, this home is ideally situated within the University High School boundary.
