About This Home

As of July 2025

Step into this beautifully reimagined 3-bed, 2-bath Turtle Rock oasis, where a comprehensive renovation has created an exceptional 1,600 sq ft sanctuary unmatched in the community. Positioned in the most serene, private setting, this single-story home lives very large, showcasing peaceful views of lush greenery while offering the perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility. No expense was spared in this meticulous renovation—every detail was thoughtfully selected, from the level-5 smooth coated walls, new high-end fixtures, faucets, and hardware throughout, to the complete replacement of every window, door, baseboard, and casing. The renovated kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and new stainless steel appliances, flowing seamlessly into a bright family room highlighted by a new nine-foot stone fireplace and large windows framing the picturesque, verdant views, reminiscent of the most exclusive resorts of the Pacific Coast. Musing architectural influences from Napa Valley’s idlllic Meadowwood, and The Lodge at Pebble Beach, the primary suite offers a spa-inspired bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower, dual vanity sinks, soaking tub, and a window to the view, featuring a remote control privacy screen, complemented by a custom-built closet maximizing organization. Two sizable additional bedrooms with custom closets, beautiful large-plank luxury flooring throughout, custom LED lighting, all new windows and doors, compete this impeccably upscale home. An attached oversized 2-car garage features sleek epoxy floors and an extra refrigerator for additional storage and convenience. Washer and dryer are included in this turnkey offering. Ideally located within walking distance to top-rated Bonita Canyon Elementary and nationally ranked University High School, this home offers the perfect blend of serenity, luxury and convenience. Minutes from the 405 and 73 freeways, enjoy easy access to Orange County's finest shopping, dining, and renowned beaches. With very low association dues and no Mello Roos tax, this meticulously curated home represents the best of Orange County coastal living.
